Misty Metal wins 2019 Furphy Summer Scorcher Listed $100,000 at Ascot (WA), 1000m.
Speedy mare Misty Metal , recent winner of the Jungle Mist Classic at this track, took her record to nine wins (five placings) from 17 starts with another smart front-running performance here.
She was quickly away, travelled well at a solid tempo, got a break on turning for home and was not threatened from that point to win comfortably.
The Celt raced in fifth place on the rails, got along the inner on straightening and fought on to just gain second from the favourite Gee Boss who chased the leader and fought on after having every chance to third with Rebel King who was third to the home turn, a close-up fourth.
