Sofia Rosa will race exclusively in Group One
company in the spring.
Trainer Stephen Marsh has outlined plans for a four race Melbourne campaign for
his Gr.1 Australian Oaks winner.
"She'll fly to Melbourne where she'll stay at Russell Cameron's at Flemington
and she'll run fresh-up in the Memsie Stakes," Marsh said.
"Obviously there's a lot of water to go under the bridge but all going well,
she'll then go to the Makybe Diva Stakes, Turnbull Stakes and the Caulfield
Cup."
Marsh said Sofia Rosa had spelled exceptionally well and he was confident of a
bold first-up showing from the daughter of Makfi.
"Without doubt she's strengthened up, she's still got a little bit of
furnishing to do, but she looks a lot better than she did in the autumn," he
said. "I think she's going to run a boomer in the Memsie over 1400m. She's not
dour at all and has a good turn of foot." - NZ Racing Desk
