Trainer Russell Stewart fronted the media a relieved man after Earthstorm finally broke her duck in the TABtouch Plate (1400m) at Ascot on Saturday. The Calyx (GB) filly was still a maiden going into her ninth start but the win dispelled any doubts about her ability to go through the ranks. And that may well continue interstate with Stewart indicating an intended transfer to Grahame Begg at Cranbourne....

Papavero Princess has gone to another level for trainer Summer Dickson this prep and that was evident when she bolted in at Ascot on Saturday. The Sessions mare was a dynamic winner first-up at Pinjarra on December 1 leading into another easy steer for Steve Parnham in the Quayclean Hcp (1400m). She tracked El Patron (Patronize) in the three-wide line and exploded in the straight to defeat the favourite Chollima (Starspangledbanner)....

Bonjoy became the 7th individual black-type winner for Alwyn Park resident Maschino (Encosta de Lago) when she ran down pacemaker Own The Queen (Awesome Rock) by a nose.

Hidden Witness opened Friday’s Morphettville card with a first-up win that turned out to be the easiest of the meeting. Never sighted on debut at Morphettville in June, she resumed in the Sportsbet Maiden Plate (1050m) and came from ten lengths off the leaders turning for home to win hard-held by Jacob Opperman. “She still new but that was as easy as you like,” co-trainer Will Clarken said. ...

Nonesospicy had to pass a vet inspection behind the barriers before completing a winning hat-trick in the Racing Towards Better Plate (1000m) at Ascot on Saturday.

Breeding a winner is as safe as houses when Champion Sire Safeguard covers super mare Clarecastle (Tribu) at Mogumber Park. Clarecastle foaled outstanding filly Specialism out of Safeguard’s initial book at Bullsbrook in 2015 and she was instrumental when he claimed the WA 2YO and Freshman titles in 2018-19. Raced by Harvey Crossman’s Lima Syndicate, Specialism was the first of five winners in as many years for the pair and they can go to another level with Castle Road who wasn’t for running down in the Magic Millions Plate (1000m) at Ascot on Saturday....
