Prepared by David Hayes and Tom Dabernig, Catch a Fire last seen when closing fast for a good third in the rich Magic Millions maiden at the Gold Coast on January 9 won by Wolf Cry.

Freshened up for this 1200 metre maiden, she was sent out a hot favourite and ran accordingly, bolting clear to win as she pleased.

Catch a Fire is the first foal and second winner for Encosta de Lago mare Polska, a daughter of Group I SAJC Australasian Oaks winner La Volta.

Widden Stud sold the current yearling from Polska, another filly by Sebring, at Magic Millions this year for $100,000 to McEvoy Mitchell Racing.
