Valachi Downs C'bury Breeders (G3)

Sex: FM WT: 55kg Type: OPEN

This G3 1400m for fillies and mares was run at a decent clip and saw the third finisher in this race last year namely Heni score easily today. The now 7yo mare sat handy the outer and then move up second turning for home before surging to lead at the 300m and then going clear. She won by two and a half lengths in 1:22.27 to record her ninth win from thirty-four starts and she is a very consistent mare. Twenty-nine times she has been top five and also she has won on all types of footing. The time was good and a 3yo filly two races ago in Savvy Coup won easily too in 1:22.84 (four lengths inferior) and that augurs well for her future prospects. Montoya Star ran on gamely for second to gain her first piece of blacktype having run tenth in this a year ago. Laffaire came with a big run from the back to get third on the line and just nab a game Cantilena out of that valuable placing for her broodmare career. La Fille En Jeu was a very game fifth after racing wide near the pace while Twoznotenough did well too after being back and wide and four-deep across the top. Zawhip fought on from a handy sit the inner while the leader Caramac wilted to finish eighth. The rest were just fair with Our Abbadean dreadful but she suffered cardiac arrhythmia so can be forgiven. This was a reasonable strength fillies and mares race and the form should stack up for sure in the South Island and somewhat in the North Island. Intriguingly four of the first five home drew double-digit gates with the third, fourth and fifth finishers coming from the three outside stalls.
