Tara Madgwick - Wednesday July 3
Metropolitan juvenile maidens in Sydney and Melbourne today have drawn super interesting fields with loads of well bred babies looking to put a win on the board before season's end including the full sister to HK Horse of the Year Werther, $1million Fastnet Rock colt Duty and a half-brother to More Joyous by Fastnet Rock.

Toffee Tongue as a yearlingTrained by Chris Waller for Jonathan Munz's Pinecliff Racing, Tavistock filly Toffee Tongue will make her debut at Sandown. A $500,000 Karaka Book I purchase for Dean Hawthorne Bloodstock from the Highden Park draft, Toffee Tongue is a full sister to triple Group I winner Werther and Group III winner Gobstopper being from good producing Zabeel mare Bagalollies.

A competitive colts and geldings maiden at Canterbury will see John O'Shea will take the wraps off Duty, who was a $1million Magic Millions purchase from the Element Hill draft. By Fastnet Rock, he is from stakes-winning Encosta de Lago mare Risk Aversion, a sibling to Group II winner Shania Dane from a family packed with Black Type.

Also keep an eye on the Chris Waller trained Lewis, a homebred for John Singleton. The half-brother to champion mare More Joyous from Group I winner Sunday Joy has had three quiet trials and is easy in the market.

I Am Invincible has several runners and could easily extend his lead on the two year-old sires list.
