While it may have taken Kobayashi mare Midnight In Tokyo 30 starts to record her first stakes victory, it only took until her very next start to record her second, winning the $160,000 Listed BRC Just Now (1300m) at Eagle Farm on Saturday for Annabel and Rob Archibald.

A tick under two hours after stablemate The Black Cloud recorded her first black type victory in Queensland, trainer Joe Pride saddled up fellow 5yo mare Weeping Woman in the $200,000 Listed ATC Razor Sharp (1200m) at Randwick where the daughter of Lonhro impressed as the race favourite.

Placed in a G1 Queensland Oaks at three and winner of the $200,000 Listed BRC Tattersall’s Gold Crown at the end of last season, Russian Revolution mare Miss Jolene is primed for a lucrative summer campaign following a barnstorming win in the Listed BRC Tails Stakes (1500m) at Eagle Farm.

Trainer Joe Pride is not afraid to travel his horses to where he feels they can win, and this was once again on display on Saturday with 5yo Shamus Award mare The Black Cloud having just her second start away from home, charging late to win the $160,000 Listed BRC Bribie Handicap (1000m) at Eagle Farm.

A winner two starts back in the Group 2 VRC Linlithgow Stakes (1400m) before fifth in the Listed Cranbourne Cup (1600m), the drop back to 1400m for Saturday’s $1m Supernova at Pakenham returned a windfall for the Ciaron Maher trained Warnie (IRE).
