It has been a long road back but trainer Kim Waugh believes Kimillsy is on the verge of another race victory.

That could come as early as Saturday at Rosehill with Waugh electing to run the five-year-old in theraces.com.au Handicap (1500m) in preference to the Grand Pavilion Handicap (1300m).

"Where she's at now and the way she's working, I'm really happy with her," the trainer said.

"I just think she's going fantastic and I think she should get back to where she was. I hope she can because if she does it will be exciting times."

Kimillsy showed she was a filly of considerable promise in the spring of 2008, finishing third in the Group One Flight Stakes, second in the Group Two Tea Rose Stakes and fourth in both the Furious Stakes and Wakeful Stakes.

However, injury kept the daughter of Danehill Dancer out of racing for close to two years following the 2008 VRC Oaks.

Kimillsy returned for the first time in 22 months at Rosehill on September 11 when she was beaten just over four lengths when seventh to Thankgodyou'rehere over 1200m.

The mare then went to Canterbury under lights on September 24 when she finished fifth, beaten a length, over 1250m.

Waugh selected the 1500m event at Rosehill on Saturday for a couple of reasons.

"I just wanted to step her up a bit in ground, she's drawn nicely (four) and I thought it was a nice race for her," Waugh said.

Meanwhile, redemption will be trainer Peter Nestor's motivation in the race with bush star Izababe.

The Dubbo-trained Izababe returns to city racing after he could beat only one runner home at his only Sydney start in late August.

"There weren't too many things which went his way but you'd have to say the run was out of character," Nestor said.

"He drew wide and the rail was out six metres and he was stuck out in no-man's land.

"He had to be ridden forward which is not really his pattern.

"Hopefully the whole experience might have hardened him up a bit."

Izababe confirmed his Canterbury run was a black mark on an otherwise almost impeccable record with a convincing win in the Dubbo Gold Cup at his next start.

"The (Dubbo Gold Cup) field was as good as it gets at this time of the year in the bush and the real Izababe stood up," Nestor said.

Izababe, a winner of eight races from 10 starts, shares 57kg topweight with One Way Ticket.

Nestor, however, has taken the opportunity to use the 2kg claim of in-form apprentice Josh Adams.
