A barrier trial win on Monday has confirmed a Saturday race debut for two-year-old Swiggin', a colt from a family dear to trainer Anthony Cummings' heart.

The colt's grand-dam Terrestial is the mother of Outback Prince and Hotel Grand, both Group One winners trained by Cummings who paid $350,000 for the colt by Fastnet Rock out of Extra Terrestial.

Swiggin' did many things wrong at his first barrier trial earlier this month but showed enough improvement over 1000 metres at Hawkesbury to earn a start in the colts and geldings plate (1200m) at Randwick.

"He made a bit of a meal of his first trial so he went to Hawkesbury today where he jumped and ran well and won by a couple of lengths," Cummings said.

"He has the makings of a very nice horse.

"I'm a part-owner which I'm happy about and I'm hopeful he can measure up."

Stablemate Failed Approach ran second in the Hawkesbury trial but is likely to miss another clash with Swiggin' and go to the races the following Thursday.

Cummings also owns Sassy Sister who is among 15 entries for the fillies division for two-year-olds but will delay a decision on a start until later in the week.

The Winter Dash (1200m) attracted 11 entries on Monday headed by stakes winner See The World from the Joe Pride stable.

The winner of the race is exempt from a ballot on next month's Listed Ramornie Handicap at Grafton.

Champion country sprinter Border Rebel is entered for both the Randwick sprint and the Group Three Healy Stakes over the same distance at Eagle Farm as is Emotional Circus.

Trans-Tasman trainer John Sargent has nominated Boogie Shoes for the 1400m Benchmark 85.

The five-year-old is yet another English horse imported to Australia and he comes here with three wins from 1609 to 1992 metres under Roger Varian.
