Seventh to Bella Nipotina in 2024 and fifth last year to Ka Ying Rising, Joliestar is in career best form this year with Group I wins at Randwick in the Canterbury Stakes and TJ Smith Stakes as well as her closer third in the Group I King Charles Stakes at Royal Ascot in June.

Second first up in the Group II ATC The Shorts, Joliestar looked awesome with a comfortable fourth in the Randwick trial on Monday featuring Ninja and Ka Ying Rising.

With 10 wins and eight placings from 22 starts and $9.4million in the bank, Joliestar is the highest stake earner for her sire Zoustar.
