Our
two year-olds are very nearly three and if there’s one thing we’ve learned this
season it is that Mark Newnham is very good with a talented filly and this well
bred daughter of Exceed and Excel looks like she’s capable of being a player this
spring.
Super Oasis was an unlucky second on debut at Randwick back in February and
then did everything wrong when finishing midfield in the Group II ATC Sweet
Embrace Stakes won by Anaheed.
Sent to the paddock after that outing, she returned with a soft trial on heavy ground
earlier this month but was asked to do a bit more today and found the line
strongly under a hold for Nash Rawiller to win her 8003 metre heat by a very comfortable
long neck.
A $450,000 Inglis Easter purchase from the Newhaven Park draft, Super Oasis is
the first foal of Puzzle, a winning half-sister by Shamardal (USA) to dual
Group I winner and $3.4 million earner English. Newhaven Park sold a full
brother to Super Oasis for $360,000 at Magic Millions this year to Darby
Racing/De Burgh Equine and he has been named Codebreaker.
On the strength of this trial, Super Oasis will not be a maiden for long.
