Interest For Another Dato TanLast year’s winner Rekindled Interest heads an exciting assembly of horses set to contest Saturday’s $305,000 Group 2 Dato Tan Chin Nam Stakes on Sportingbet Cox Plate Preview Day at Moonee Valley. 9yo Danleigh Back to BestDespite being winless in the past 18 months and the oldest runner in a quality field, Danleigh has put on an impressive display to take out the Group Two Chelmsford Stakes at Warwick Farm. Trainer Chris Waller was full of praise for the veteran gelding, who has now won nearly $2.5 million in career prizemoney. Southern Speed Sneaks InDefending Caulfield Cup champ Southern Speed has kicked off her Melbourne Spring campaign with the smallest of victories in the Group 2 Makybe Diva Stakes at Flemington on Saturday.

Sincero Breaks Drought In MemsieIt had been almost a year since Sincero had won his last race, but that was quickly forgotten after his impressive win in the Group 2 Memsie Stakes at Caulfield on Saturday. Pierro Run Screams ChampionTrainer Gai Waterhouse has labelled her star three year old colt Pierro a champion after his dominating performance in the Group 3 Run To The Rose on Saturday. The race was never in doubt with Pierro looming up in the straight to take the lead and pull away to win by 1 1/4 lengths from Your Song, with Epaulette a similar distance back in third. Pinker Pinker Second To NoneUltra consistent mare Pinker Pinker found the perfect time to break through for a win, stepping up big time on Saturday for an unexpected victory in the Group 1 Cox Plate at Moonee Valley. After back to back second placings in the Stocks Stakes behind Kings Rose and in the Epsom behind Secret Admirer, Pinker Pinker shocked most, by taking out Australasia's premier weight-for-age event by 1.3 lengths. |
