Aided by a patient rails-hugging ride by Kathy O’Hara, the Almanzor (FR) colt Manzoice opened his winning account in Saturday’s Dooley Hcp (1300m) at Rosehill Gardens.
It was a tough and brave performance by Madame Du Gast at Geelong on Friday, the lightly raced and promising chestnut back in winning form having not had the best of luck in the lead-up - doing a great job in demanding conditions.
