One to Watch – Warrnambool

Tara Madgwick - Thursday August 4
A change of scene seems to have worked wonders for this well-bred Emirates Park owned mare, who bolted in at Warrnambool at her first run for new trainer Darren Weir.

Speranta as a yearlingWith a second and four unplaced runs from five previous outings for Team Hawkes, lightly raced four year-old Pins mare Speranta turned that average form around to produce a sparkling win.

Sent out a hot favourite, she relished the heavy conditions to thrash a big field of 16 in the 1400 metre maiden to win by more than four lengths.

A $410,000 Inglis Easter purchase from the Little Avondale Stud draft for Emirates Park, Speranta was the most expensive yearling by champion New Zealand sire Pins sold in that year.

She is the first winner for Kumari, a winning half-sister by Zabeel to Group I winner Sharvasti and Group III winners Shastri and Bhandara.
