Trained by Anthony and Sam Freedman, three year-old filly Bewitchingly was having her second start in the 1300m maiden at Cranbourne and powered home to win by a neck for Craig Williams as favourite.
 



Bewitchingly was bought at Inglis Easter from the Segenhoe draft by Tom Magnier and is a full sister to two time Group III winner Catch Me.

Bewitchingly is a graduate of the Coolmore breaking in and pre-training program and runs for Coolmore and partners.

Bewitchingly was educated at Coolmore.

Bred by Segenhoe, she is the third winner from Captivating Claire, an unraced half-sister by O’Reilly to stakes-winner Ocean Jewel from the Marquise branch of the celebrated Eight Carat family that has produced Group I winning filly Shower of Roses and Hiyaam.

Segenhoe sold a Zoustar colt from Captivating Claire at Inglis Easter this year for $340,000 and she has another filly by I Am Invincible to follow.
