Star Kiwi Filly to Join Waller Stable

Media Release - Monday November 26

Multiple stakes-winning filly Melt will continue her immediate racing future with expat Kiwi trainer Chris Waller in Sydney.

MeltThe daughter of Iffraaj is currently spelling in Christchurch after a successful spring campaign that resulted in two wins and a placing from four starts, including victory in the Gr.3 Cambridge Stud Northland Breeders' Stakes (1200m) at Ruakaka.

"She is still down in Christchurch having a bit of a spell and she's heading to Chris Waller's on Friday, this week," former trainer Nigel Tiley said.

"If she managed to get a bit of black-type over there that's fantastic for her future as a broodmare, but if she doesn't come up she can always come back and we'll find another path for her."

Melt has won four of her eight starts and finished second to Avantage in the Gr.1 Manawatu Sires' Produce Stakes (1400m) as a juvenile. - NZ Racing Desk
