This filly is a half-sister to Group II winner Mella Maria, the dam of this season’s Group placed three year-old Wanaruah, with the family also producing stakes-winners Vinland and Valliano.
Champion sire Written Tycoon is riding the crest of a wave with an outstanding crop of three year-olds currently flying his flag and for his many fans Lot 259 will be a must inspect as this filly from La Paris is a full sister to Group III Gold Coast Guineas winner Hightail, stakes-placed Poppin’ Champagne and speedy filly Je Suis Tycoon, who won the Warrnambool VOBIS Gold Strike.
