John Singleton's Strawberry Hill Stud already has a homebred Fastnet Rock three year-old colt in Lewis from his famed Joie Denise family that is showing classic potential this season and at Geelong on Monday a Fastnet Rock filly from the same family broke her maiden with a tough staying performance.

Fastnet RockTrained out of Lindsay Park, Raptures was favourite for the 1750 metre maiden and scored a three-quarter length win at her fourth start.

Fourth, second and then a last start four in the Listed Morphettville Guineas, Raptures is improving with every run.

She is bred to appreciate further being a half-sister to Group I placed Happy Hannah and is the third winner from Zabeel mare Absolute Joy, who was fourth in the Group I Queensland Oaks.

A daughter of Joie Denise, Absolute Joy is a sibling to Group I stars Tuesday Joy and Sunday Joy (the dam of champion mare More Joyous), also Deedra, the dam of Group I winner Fenway.

Absolute Joy has been to a variety of sires in the past few seasons and has a two year-old filly by More Than Ready (USA), a yearling colt by Snitzel and was covered last year by So You think.
