One to Watch – Eagle Farm

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday December 28

Champion trainer Chris Waller has a knack with a good Zoustar filly, think Zougotcha, Kiku and Madam Rouge, add this filly to the list after she blitzed her rivals at Eagle Farm on Wednesday and she has a half-brother headed to Magic Millions.

Sporting the Star Thoroughbreds colours, three year-old Olentia made it two wide margin wins from two starts when she coasted home to win the Class 1 race over 1200m as she pleased.

Olentia opened up to win by nearly five lengths breaking 34 for her last 600m as a short priced favourite.

Olentia was a $310,000 Magic Million spurchase.

A $310,000 Magic Millions purchase for Star Thoroughbreds/Randwick Bloodstock Agency P/L from the Tyreel Stud draft, Olentia is a half-sister to Group III winner Wandabaa, stakes-winner Malkovich and Group III placed Seewhatshebrings.

She is one of seven winners from seven to race from terrific producer Mabkhara, who has a Capitalist colt that will be offered by Attunga Stud as Lot 84 at Magic Millions.

The half-brother to Olentia will be offered at Magic Millions by Attunga Stud.
