One to Watch – Canterbury

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday June 14
A debut victory for the full sister to Group II winner Cluster made for an obvious choice as the ‘One to Watch’ on Wednesday.

Prepared by Joe Pride, Miss Que stumbled out of the gates to be a clear last at the jump and appeared to be struggling in the wet conditions before launching in the straight to overhaul the leaders in the shadows of the post.

Fastnet RockA homebred for Peter and Wendy Moran, she won the 1100 metre maiden by three quarters of a length.

"It puts a real smile on your face. It was a very impressive win from a filly with a really deep pedigree," Joe Pride said.

"Early in the straight she looked to be labouring but the class shone through late.

"She's taken a while to get to the races but I think now that she's there she can really go on with it."

Pride believes the three-year-old daughter of champion sire Fastnet Rock has the ability to develop into an autumn carnival horse.

"It is a pity she has missed her three-year-old year in a lot of ways but there's every chance she'll train on now and be a nice four and five-year-old, and if we look after her maybe by next autumn she can really measure up to the better horses," Pride said.

Miss Que is a full sister to Group II winner Cluster, now standing at Larneuk Stud in Victoria and a half-sister to stakes-placed Inkling.

She is the fifth winner for stakes-winning Last Tycoon (IRE) mare Tarcoola Diamond, who has another yearling filly to follow by Fastnet Rock.
