weasel57 429 Report post Posted September 18, 2019 Matamata R6 #7 SUNNY ROSE 2nd up today, over 1600m - more to her liking than the 1300m in a hot and big field at Hastings when always likely to struggle. Tavistock mare - half sister to Derby winner Tavago (therefore related also to Catalyst) who won't mind the cut in the ground; and has been placed on the course. Won her maiden at this distance, then a good 3rd in R65 at Matamata last December. Ran 4th in the Sir Tristram Fillies Classic last season, behind Imelda Mary so has the 'class factor' and should be in for a good prep as a 4yo mare. Cups horse in the making? Value is the $FF $8 in a 8-horse field; fingers crossed the 1600m today isn't too short, and definitely one to follow through the grades. I expect her to be making ground strongly at the end and could win at decent odds. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohokaman 5,763 Report post Posted September 18, 2019 As expected, too short but hit the line nicely for 5th. Will be winning better races than that. weasel57 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
