Ever consistent Equipped (4gMore Than Ready (USA) x Zona), representing a long list of long term owners and from the John Sargent stable, broke through for a well-deserved maiden win as a favourite at Newcastle, while Made In Russia (3g Street Cry (IRE) x Millie Milou), coming from the McEvoy stable made it two wins from four starts when saluting at Morphettville for our previous owners of Group I star First Seal in the China Horse Club.

Our other runner, Indisputable (3c Redoute's Choice x Judged) started favourite after finishing a short head second on debut, but he failed to round out an undefeated day. His day will come again…. possibly quite soon.
