PROMISING stayer Too Close the Sun is looming as a Warrnambool Cup fancy following a dominant win in the Sungold Milk Terang Cup last Sunday.

The Lindsey Smith-trained four year-old received a plum ride from jockey Declan Bates to defeat Ciaron Maher and David Eustace’s Fanciful Toff and Simone Ferchie’s Lucabelle in the $63,000 event.

Smith said he was thrilled with the performance of Too Close the Sun in what was his maiden Terang Cup after recently moving to Warrnambool from Western Australia
