She Will Reign made all the news from the Warwick Farm trials last Monday when she blitzed her rivals to win by nine lengths in scorching time.
Chasing her home for second in that trial was Your Song filly Songlike, who
showed she has more to offer with this dominant trial win at her second public
outing.The Bjorn Baker trained filly jumped well but was happy to take a sit behind tearaway leader Didn't Mention It and when asked to chase and go forward by Jason Collett did so with enthusiasm.
She lengthened stride and sped past the leader to win by two lengths covering the 900 metres in 53.60 seconds.
A $50,000 Magic Millions National Yearling Sale purchase from the Widden Stud draft for Bjorn Baker/ Blandford Bloodstock, Songlike is entered for several feature races at The Championships.
She is the third foal of Mabkhara, an Anabaa (USA) half-sister to Group III placed Lucky Eighty Eight from the Asawir branch of the Easy Date family that has produced Group I winners Rewaaya and Ertijaal.
The Sebring yearling filly from Mabkhara sold at the Ingis Classic Yearling Sale on Saturday night fetching $150,000 to the bid of Lindsay Park Bloodstock.
