Coolmore Blueblood Ready for Debut

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday August 30
The last filly foal from celebrated Coolmore matron Piccadilly Circus was seen in action at the Moonee Valley gallops on Tuesday morning.

Piccadillies - Grant CourtneyUnraced three year-old Uncle Mo (USA) filly Piccadillies has been nominated by Lee and Anthony Freedman for the Listed MVRC Atlantic Jewel Stakes this Saturday, but is no good thing to run.

"She's got a few options," Freedman told Racenet. "There's a nice race for her the following week at Flemington.

"What would concern me about Saturday is if we cop a bad draw and if it ended up a wet track - the draw is something that will not come into play down the straight.

"I'd say she's 50/50 to run on Saturday. All things being equal I'm probably leaning towards Flemington on Saturday week."

Retained to race by Coolmore, the half-sister to champion sire Fastnet Rock won her only public trial at Cranbourne last year and is held in high regard having been entered for the Group I MRC Thousand Guineas.

Dwayne Dunn was aboard the filly this morning working with stablemate Nozomi over 800m in 52.08, the last 400m in a sharp 23.97 seconds.

By champion US sire Uncle Mo, Piccadillies is the last filly foal for Piccadilly Circus who died last year leaving one last colt by Declaration of War (USA).
