825,000 Inglis Easter purchase from Sledmere Stud for Peter Moody on behalf of Gary Chittick of Waikato Stud, Mem’s Choice is a full sister to Group I winning $3million earner Invincibella, who produced her first winner last week when Justify (USA) filly Mergeila saluted at Canterbury on Wednesday.

Mem's Choice was an $825,000 Inglis Easter purchase.

Mem’s Choice is the fourth winner from seven to race from unraced Galileo mare Abscond, whose other three winners are Group III winner Secret Blaze and stakes-winner Extreme Flight, who stands at Rosemont Stud in Victoria.

Abscond produced a colt by Golden Slipper winner Stay Inside last spring and is due to foal to I Am Invincible.
