This Listed 3yo fillies only event at 1200m saw the hatrrick at this level scored by Secret Spirit and she did it with utter domination on the wet Wanganui circuit. The filly was back of midfield and wide but coasting across the top and then once let rip gobbled up her rivals up the run home to lead at the 150m and swim clear. It was comprehensive indeed in and the time of 1:17.54 showed the testing nature of the track as this was in fact the slowest time of the day. New York Minute ran a sound second after nice sit behind the pace while an eyecatcher from the back along the inside for third was Keepelo, a maiden. She looks like an Oaks filly now. Her stablemate Heart Of T’Castle ran a good fourth and this yard should have some fun with the pair this season. Stormy Ray was brave for seventh all things factored in for a maiden while one place head of her was Youwantmore, also a maiden. Some flops in the race were most notably Girlsarebackintown but she was found to be lame after the race. She is Stryking after an awkward start was used up to loop the field and sit second but her race was gone turning for home. Secret Spirit while wet tracks hang around will be a serious 3yo performer. New York Minute has the build to got a lot further while it is hard not to like the stablemates Keepelo especially and Heart Of Th’Castle after today as worth following.
