There were five heats for juveniles at Randwick on Friday morning on the grass with some eye-catching winners that included a speed demon, a blue-blood Snitzel colt and a Pierro filly we predict will be winning a stakes race sooner rather than later.
The Peter and Paul Snowden trained Paris Dior has a win and two seconds from three starts and was last seen splitting Xtravagant Star and Sejardan in the $2million Inglis Millennium.
She looked sensational in her heat running past her rivals like they were tied to the fence with James McDonald in the saddle. She holds entries for the Group II ATC Percy Sykes Stakes and Group I ATC Sires Produce Stakes.
The two fillies she bolted past are blue-bloods, Jolted the first foal of G1 Oaks winner Abbey Marie by the late champion Japanese sire Deep Impact and Ultimate Feeling is the half-sister to Group I winner and sire Tivaci, both have siblings entered for Inglis Easter.
The full sister to Paris Dior was bought by Trilogy Racing / CB Bloodstock at Inglis Classic this year for $330,000 and may well prove a very good investment.
It’s not hard to spot Capitalist filly Asteria as a full sister to the recently retired to stud Profiteer, who won the Inglis Millennium last year and started favourite in last year’s Golden Slipper.
Like her brother, the Mark Newnham trained filly only knows one way and that’s flat out, which she has done in her only two trials to date and has won both times, however trials are different to races and Asteria is going to need to settle a lot better if she’s going to sustain that speed in a race beyond 1000m.
Newgate sold the yearling half-sister by I Am Invincible to Profiteer and Asteria at Inglis Classic this year for $220,000 to PR Funds.
Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott have been patient with Snitzel colt Burgunder, the first foal of their Group I VRC Oaks winner Pinot. He was having his third trial and second this preparation and was ridden along to take the win.
Arrowfield Stud will offer the second foal from Pinot, a three-quarter sister by The Autumn Sun to Burgunder at Inglis Easter as Lot 349.
Other 2YO heat winners were Command Approved (Spirit of Boom) and Seductive (Shalaa (IRE) and both of them have siblings entered for Inglis Easter as well.
