3 minute read

Fresh from his win in the Spring Stakes with Behemoth David Jolly was the first trainer to be seen in the winner’s circle when Dawn Salute won the opening race which was run over 1100 metres at Morphettville on Saturday.

Ridden by Todd Pannell, Dawn Salute  led all the way to score his second win from nine starts.

Trainer Phillip Stokes looks to have a nice three-year-old in the stable after Shojiki opened her winning account at her first start in the 1200 metre second race.

Guided to a good win by Kayla Crowther Shojiki jumped well before drifting back but was able to make up ground over the concluding stages.

After running a good third in a Balaklava trial recently and then running well in a jump-out last Tuesday morning at Morphettville Pimm's Party led all the way to give co-trainers Leon McDonald and Andrew Gluyas and hoop Jason Holder a win in the 1200 metre third race at her first race-day outing.

The newly formed training partnership of Sue Jaensch and her son Jason landed its first city winner when the nine-year-old Von Costa Glass took out the 1600 metre fourth race.

Aided by a 3kg claim for apprentice Sophie Logan Von Costa Glass came from the rear of the field with a strong run over the concluding stages.

After running third with his charge Chosen blonde at Moonee Valley trainer Chris Bieg broke through for a win within minutes when tubby Two Tracks was successful in taking out the 1519 metre fifth race.

Ridden by apprentice Dylan Caboche Tubby Two Tracks was well placed.

On a testing day for race-goers Von Saga brought up her fourth win when she took out the 1200 metre sixth race.

Prepared by Travis Doudle and having the services of apprentice Jessica Eaton, who has made every post a winning post since relocating to SA on a three month loan, Von Saga came from a midfield position to gain a last stride victory.

Jessica Eaton brought up the second leg of a race to race double when Aadelad won the 1050 metre seventh race.

Prepared at Strathalbyn by the training team of Wayne Francis and Glen Kent, Aadelad came from a near last position with a strong run over the concluding stages to win.

Apprentice Sophie Logan brought up her second metropolitan double when she rode Muntham Missile to a win in the 1800 metre eighth race.

Once trained by Horsham horseman Paul Preusker and now in the stable of Mt Gambier trainer Belinda O'Loughlin Muntham Missile came from a midfield position with a strong run late in the event.

Jessica Eaton landed her third winner for the day when Cannot Be Serios won the 1600 metre ninth race.

Being under the care of Murray Bridge trainer Michael Hickmott Cannot Be Serios was well placed in a front running speed battle with the Sophie Logan ridden Grant Young trained Exalted Traveller.

Trainer Phillip Stokes finished the day off well when Jacobite Prince gave him his second winner in the 1200 metre final event.

Piloted by Jake Toeroek Jacobite Prince jumped keenly and settled in a forward position which he maintained before gaining supremacy late in the event.
