Astute
trainer Alan Denham has a very bright prospect to keep him inspired over winter
with talented Deep Field colt Mocambo charging home to score an eye-catching
win at Warwick Farm on Wednesday.
A strong winner at Kembla Grange at his second start last month, Mocambo showed
the benefit of recent racing when he settled back in the big field of 14 after jumping
from a wide gate and when angled into the clear by Corey Brown accelerated
impressively.
"He's got plenty of talent," said Corey Brown.
"He took a little while to get going, but once he was in full flight at the
furlong he hit the line well. He's a lovely horse, I think they will have a lot
of fun with him."
A $100,000 Inglis Classic purchase for Brent Hudson from the Milburn Creek
draft, Mocambo won by three-quarters of a length and with two wins from three
starts has already won over $56,000 in prizemoney.
Bred by John Muir's Milburn Creek, he is the first winner from Redoute's Choice
mare Lady Bligh, a half-sister to stakes-winner Run for Levi from the family of
Group I winner Spark of Life, who was also trained by Alan Denham.
Mocambo is one of 14 first crop winners for Newgate Farm's Deep Field, who has
earned a fee increase this year and stands at a fee of $44,000.
