The lightly-raced Entrancing broke her maiden in good style on Thursday and the juvenile looks capable of improving further.
Entrancing defeated Eccellare (Exceed And Excel) by 2 3/4-lengths to score a comfortable win against older horses in the Open Maiden over 1100m on a heavy (8) track.
The filly became the 13th winner for Exceed And Excel, who looks to have an unassailable lead in the Australian Two-Year-Old premiership with five stakes winners and earnings of $3,352,960, clear of his Darley barnmate Medaglia d'Oro on $2,759,275.
Bred by Richard Johnston's Bylong Thoroughbreds, Entrancing sold for $100,000 as a yearling at the 2014 Magic Millions Sale at the Gold Coast to trainer Garry Frazer.
Inbred 3x3 to Danzig she is another example of the success her sire has enjoyed with mares carrying a strain of Danzig.
The four-time Group I winner Guelph is bred this way as is the Group III winners Thermal Current.
Exceed And Excel's Group III Maribyrnong Plate winning son Exceedingly Good has got the Group III winner Aimee bred with a duplication of Danehill.
Entrancing is the second foal of Coast To The Post, a winning Anabaa half-sister to Group II Challenge Stakes winner De Lightning Ridge (Tale Of The Cat).
Their granddam is four-time Listed winner Nanny Maroon (Alquoz), known for her big finishes in winning the Sheraco Stakes, Millie Fox and Festival Handicaps and the Dark Jewel Classic at Scone.
Coast To The Post has a two-year-old colt by Snitzel called Raasmaal, as yet unraced, and was covered by Epaulette in 2014.
Exceed And Excel (pictured) stands at Darley Kelvinside and is advertised at $110,000 incl GST in 2015.
