Trainer Pat Hyland is keeping the door ajar for Zarita to return to Sydney's battlefields for the Group One Queen Elizabeth Stakes on Anzac Day.

Hyland was dismissive of the four-year-old mare's last-start failure in The BMW at Rosehill when she only beat one horse home in the 2400-metre Group One event on a rain soaked track at Rosehill on April 4.

"She just didn't handle the heavy track at all," Hyland said.

Jockey Dwayne Dunn told Hyland that Zarita was "gone" after 200 metres and she returned to scale as if she hadn't had a run.

"The strange part is that she came in after the race and wouldn't have blown a match out," Hyland said.

"I don't think she let go at all."

Hyland said the performance, which only compares with her second last in the 2008 Turnbull Stakes, still haunts him.

"That was the first heavy track she has been on but it is still a worry," Hyland said.

"I just keep thinking about it but (Dwayne) Dunn came out and rode her work and said he couldn't fault her."

Hyland said Zarita would be entered for the Group One Queen Elizabeth Stakes (2000m) at Randwick but also said he would not commit to running her unless the weather cleared up.

"She will be entered but she won't run if it is a heavy track like it was at Rosehill," Hyland said.

Zarita has won seven of her 21 starts, including the 2008 Australasian Oaks-SA Derby double.

Last year she also finished fourth to Maldivian in the Group One Cox Plate and was fourth to Niconero in last month's Group One Australian Cup after her third to Theseo and Baughurst in the Group Two St George Stakes at Caulfield.

The forecast is for showers early in the week after rain fell in Sydney on Saturday night and fine weather is expected by Thursday.
