2YO Watch Race at Randwick – G1 JJ Atkins?

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday May 12

The powerful Chris Waller stable has been unleashing an army of back season juveniles in recent weeks and we’ll see another wave of them at the Kensington track at Randwick on Wednesday with five runners in the 1400m juvenile contest.

Three colts from the stable that have all been to the races previously are all right in the market with James McDonald to ride Toronado (IRE) colt Tron Bolt, Nash Rawiller booked for Unhinged, the half-brother by Snitzel to G1 winning stable favourite Hinged, while Sam Clipperton will partner $1.7million Snitzel Colt Nation’s League.

Unhinged and Tron Bolt were second and third behind their stablemate Katoto in a strong midweek metro maiden two weeks ago.

Tron Bolt is an interesting colt given he topped the Inglis Ready 2 Race Sale when sold for $900,000 to Hermitage Thoroughbreds and he comes with a big pedigree being the first foal of Group III winner Baccarat Baby, a half-sister to triple Group I winner Duais and Group II winner Philia, who made $1.4million at the Inglis Chairman’s Sale last week when bought by Katrsumi Yoshida.

Tron Bolt topped the Inglis Ready 2 Race Sale last year at $900,000.

Nation’s League was last seen running second to his stablemate Stormy Marco at the standalone Saturday Hawkesbury meeting.

The Waller trained five are rounded out by The Autumn Sun colt Your Attitude, who was eighth in the race won by Katoto and unraced Proisir filly Jessenya, the half-sister to staying superstar Aeliana.

Jessenya is the half-sister to Aeliana and was purchased for $300,000 from Karaka Book 1.

She runs in the same Star Thoroughbreds colours having been bought from Karaka Book 1 for $300,000.

Not trained by Chris Waller, but well worth keeping an eye on is the Tom Charlton trained filly Rye Manhattan, who has the services of Zac Lloyd.

A three-quarter sister-in-blood by The Autumn Sun to dual Group I winner Shout the Bar, Rye Manhattan has the pedigree that says a mile and further with a good grounding at the trials to have her ready for 1400m first up.

There might be some nice horses come out of this race so tune in at lunchtime!
