Supera wins Tui-Backing A Winner Anniv Group 3 NZ$70,000 at Trentham, 1600m.
Following a fighting third at Group 2 level a month ago, Supera broke through for her maiden stakes win and fifth overall from ten starts with an easy two length win here. She got away quickly but began to drift soon after to be worse than midfield at the 1400m and third last (rails) past the 800m.
She was locked away from the 600m to the top of the straight where jockey Rosie Myers waited patiently for a run. Hugging the fence, she dashed along the inner when space opened up at the 400m, charged forward to catch the tearaway pacemaker then raced clear at the 200m. Myers kept her honest but the chasers had no chance and she went to line unchallenged.
Wyndspelle sat midfield (rails) at the 800m, eased three wide into the straight, had to go wider still at the 200m then accelerated hard but too late to catch the winner yet a solid second.
Camino Rocoso was second turning in then battled away gamely to hold a distant third from Kolonel Kev who, from last, switched to the inner in the run home to land fourth.
