ON THE BUBBLES DOES IT AGAIN – KARAKA HERE COMES
On The Bubbles (Brazen Beau-More Bubbles) is now undefeated in two 2yo starts after a comprehensive victory at Ellerslie today (10/1).
The Jamie Richards-trained Brazen Beau youngster sat three-wide throughout the 1200m contest but still found plenty of kick in the home straight to race away for a comfortable two and a half-length victory.
“He was very impressive today and as we wanted to ride him off the speed and teach him not to to be so one-dimensional,” Richards said.
On The Bubbles will now have an easy time before tackling the 2YO Karaka Million later this month.
MYSTICAL BEAUTY – BACK TO BACK WINS
Mystical Beauty (Dissident-Rap Tale) showed a bold front running display to make it back to back wins in the 3YO Hcp over 1650m at Launceston on 6/1. Trained by Adam Trinder and owned by Wayne Roser (of Mystic Journey fame), this progressive filly showed a tenacious nature to take out the win.
