One to Watch – Hawkesbury

Tara Madgwick - Thursday April 13
Featured in a 'Juvenile Trial Watch' story last month, this royally bred Redoute's Choice filly made a winning debut at Hawkesbury on Thursday.

Blonde Intuition as a yearlingPrepared by Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott, Blonde Intuition jumped in front for Tim Clark and was never headed to skip away and win the 1100 metre maiden by a length and a half.

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 here to think she can measure up tp better races.

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.

Blonde Intuition must have been showing good ability for some time 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.
