Gai
Waterhouse was without a Slipper runner last Saturday, but she and training
partner Adrian Bott won three of the five juvenile heats at Randwick on Monday morning
indicating there is still some unexposed talent in the locker.
Royally bred Redoute's Choice filly Blonde Intuition was bought for $500,000 at
the Magic Millions from the Element Hill draft by Gai and Julian Blaxland.
She runs for a big syndicate of women headed by Louise Gillard and showed
enough in this trial to suggest she can be winning races.
Unplaced at her first trial in December, Blonde Intuition looked more mature
this time around, jumping fast and travelling wide for Tim Clark before surging
to the line under a hold to win her 745 metre heat in 44 seconds on a heavy 8.
Blonde Intuition is a full sister to stakes-winner Come Hither (dam of
stakes-winner Cohesion) and half-sister to stakes-winner Fun in Flight being
from stakes-placed Hanky Panky.
More importantly she is a three-quarter sister-in-blood to stakes-winner and
leading sire Not a Single Doubt, who is by Redoute's Choice from her grand-dam
Singles Bar.
There must be some expectation that Blonde Intuition has more to offer as
Waterhouse purchased her half-brother by Sebring at Magic Millions this year
for $170,000.
It's a fast family that has also give us the likes of Group I winners Snippets,
Forensics and Rewaaya, so connections will be hoping for some Black type for
this filly before the breeding barn looms.
Also winning for Gai and Adrian were Pan Jinlian (Fastnet Rock) and Red Zephyr
(Snitzel).
