One to Watch – Geelong

Tara Madgwick - Friday August 26
The name Phoenix Rising was carried by a very good filly in the eighties that won the Group III QTC Queensland Guineas and it has cropped up again on a promising filly that won at Geelong on Friday.

Phoenix Rising as a yearlingLast seen finishing fourth to I am a Star in the Group III SAJC National Stakes back in May, three year-old Fastnet Rock filly Phoenix Rising opened her spring campaign with an easy victory in the 1300 metre maiden as favourite.

Ridden back in the field from a wide gate, the Hayes/Dabernig trained filly flew home to win by nearly two lengths in an eye-catching performance.

A $250,000 Magic Millions purchase for Wylie Dalziel / Moody Racing from the Coolmore draft, Phoenix Rising is entered for the Group I MRC Thousand Guineas so is obviously held in high regard.

Foaled and raised at Coolmore, she is the second foal of well-bred More Than Ready (USA) mare More Valour, whose first foal is classy stakes-placed 5YO Tashbeeh, who runs in the Group I MRC Memsie Stakes on Saturday.

A half-sister to Group winners Timbourina and Media as well as stakes-winner Cardinal Virtue, More Valour is due to foal to Fastnet Rock again.
