Ozzmosis gave trainer Bjorn Baker and jockey Rachel King the biggest wins of their careers in the spring, taking out the stallion-making Group 1 Coolmore Stud Stakes (1200m) and the colt's next challenge is tackling the older horses.
The son of Zoustar will likely stay in Sydney for the autumn with two Group 1 sprints identified by Baker as targets, one a handicap and one at weight-for-age.
"We are going to The Galaxy then the TJ Smith Stakes. There is nowhere to hide now," Baker said.
"He is going great … he has definitely gotten bigger and stronger."
"Even with the 10 days we were away at the Magic Millions, I've noticed how much he has come on, he's thriving."
Ozzmosis is a G1-winning colt!

Meanwhile another stable Group 1 winner is back in work with Tancred Stakes hero Arapaho trialling on Monday morning at Randwick after missing the majority of the spring with a virus.
Arapaho had just one run in the spring, finishing 10th in the 7 Stakes (1600m) before being spelled but Baker is happy with how the stayer is going having finished fifth in his trial behind Queen Of The Ball over 850m.
"He's great, I couldn't be happier with him," Baker said.
"He's definitely bigger and stronger after having a soft spring."
"He will be aimed at the Tancred Stakes."
Rachel King, who landed a Group 2 winner in Japan on Sunday, rode both Ozzmosis and Arapaho to their respective Group 1 wins and should be back for the Sydney autumn, with her short-term JRA license set to expire on March 5.
Baker also confirmed that Group 1 winner Overpass will again head west for his defence of The Quokka on April 20 and will tackle the race fresh, as he did last year.
