Bred to Northern Hemisphere time, the Kris Lees trained Zestful (pictured Steve Hart) gained minor
Black Type last preparation and was fourth in the$500,000 Provincial
Championships Final at Randwick, but is looking to improve on that this time
around.She powered home under 60.5 kg to win the 1100 metre sprint at her first outing since May and has Black Type goals on the horizon over summer.
Initially trained by Sam Kavanagh, Zestful has now won four of nine starts earning over $189,000 in prizemoney with more in store.
Zestful was a $90,000 Magic Millions National Sale purchase from the draft of Bellerive Stud and runs for Widden Stud's Antony Thompson and his good mate Paul Frampton.
A half-sister to Group III placed Zedazest and to the dam of Group II winner Military Rose, Zestful is one of eight winners from Zest, a half-sister to multiple Group I winner and leading sire Zeditave from the family of Group I stars such as Melito, Greys Inn and Norzita.
As a winning blue-blooded daughter of champion sire Redoute's Choice, Zestful will make an appealing broodmare prospect for the future and even more so if she can win a stakes race this season.
