Redbreast, Saturday 14th December, Royal Randwick, Race 3:
Redbreast was terrific when winning so determinedly first-up. She looked gone at the furlong but her stamina kicked in late, and as such the rise to 1600 metres here is going to suit her down to the ground. She was taking on fillies and mares first-up and has to race against boys here, but it’s confined to 3 & 4 year olds and she gets her 2kg mares’ allowance. I’s the same grade of race she contested last time and whilst she is a bit higher in the weights, in terms of being a suitable steppingstone it’s a race that ticks a lot of boxes and she’d have to be hard to beat.
