Talented
two-year-old filly Folk Dress made it back-to-back wins on her home track when
successful in the Matamata Glass & Joinery (1000m) on Wednesday.
Ridden by Craig Grylls, Folk Dress sat just forward of mid-field and rounded
her rivals up comfortably.
Trainer Jamie Richards said Folk Dress and stablemate Louis Luck, who closed
well for fifth, would head towards the Listed Waikato Equine Veterinary Centre
2YO Stakes (1100m) at Te Rapa on May 4.
"Good draws win races and Craig got the split at the top of the straight and
she went home nicely," Richards said.
"We have been trying to concentrate on getting her back and finishing off and
she is doing that well."
Richards said the addition of blinkers also aided the Coolmore-owned Pierro
filly, who has now two of four starts.
The Matamata horseman was also positive regarding the future prospects of Dissident
gelding Louis Luck, who started favoruite.
"He just got on one rein and is still learning, but he is a progressive horse
and if he can draw a gate at Te Rapa, he is a big chance," Richards said.
Folk Dress is the third winner for Gypsy Chimes (USA), a half-sister to Group
III winner La Chunga.
