Gerald Ryan and Sterling Alexiou's Rosehill training combination will try to qualify the talented performer Green Shadows for a second large dance in a row if he concerns the 200,000 dollar -Tamworth City Toyota Tamworth Cup on Thursday (1400 m).
Ryan and Alexiou succeeded with Green Shadows last year before the Son of Menari took 13th place behind Gringotts in November in November in Huge Dance in Randwick.
The five-year-old has not driven since then and has resumed two barriers in the Tamworth function on the back.

“The Tamworth Cup looks a nice race for him to start its campaign,” said Ryan.
“We gave him a few exams and he was beaten just under the latest in the latest by Randwick.
“Braith Nock takes him with him in Tamworth and he pulled a good barrier.”
Green Shadows is a winner of five of his 27 starts with another six second placements. It deserves almost 470,000 US dollars and the first prize in the Tamworth Cup is worth 109,000 US dollars.
“He was a consistent horse for connections and they would love a stable full of horse like him,” said Ryan.
“He won his first start in a race in Goulburn, took over the group of group 1 in his career and still works.”
Green Shadows are aligned in the Tamworth Cup with the Annabel Neaham and Rob Archibald in the Tamworth Cup, which is trained west of Africa.
West of Africa won the Magic Million Cup in January and was third in the last two starts in the Ajax Stakes and Muswellbrook Cup.
The large runner-up Vivy Air of the last year will appear in the Tamworth Cup, with Ashley Morgan doing the journey for coach Ciaron Maher, while Peter Snowden has the Ramorn handicap winner of Ramornie, Ka Bling, in which event has Bell in the saddle.
Luke Rolls will work together Lisztomania in the event for coach Todd Payne, with the galoper a last start in the final of the Country Championships in Randwick behind Know Thyelf.
