Cambridge trainer Sam Mynott is hoping to take her stable’s winning momentum into the weekend. On Wednesday at Pukekohe, Cirque Du Rose broke through for her maiden win in the Entain/NZB Insurance Pearl Series (1600m) in the hands of jockey Joe Doyle. “Joe gave her a beautiful ride and it was nice to see her get that win over a mile,” Mynott said. “We always knew she would want that sort of trip, but I was just a touch worried about how long between runs with that heavier track. She showed a lot, and she ran well, so she is only going to improve.” Mynott will now head to Tauranga on Saturday with half a dozen runners, including Too Darn Sweet who will have her first tilt at stakes level in the Gr.2 James and Annie Sarten Memorial (1400m). The three-year-old daughter of Too Darn Hot finished runner-up on debut over 1100m at Taupo earlier this month and Mynott is hopeful she can attain some black-type this weekend. “She is a really smart, little filly,” she said. “It is a big step-up in class and a big ask for just her second raceday start. She showed us a lot last start, she has only improved off that, she is working well and she is happy.” Stablemate Electron will contest the Bayleys Mount Maunganui 1300 after Te Rapa’s abandonment on Monday, with the daughter of Turn Me Loose keeping up to the mark with a 1100m Group and Listed trial at Pukekohe on Wednesday. “We were supposed to go to Te Rapa on Monday and with that abandonment we didn’t get a run, so I took her to the trials, we just needed to do something with her and she has run well,” Mynott said. Electron was Initially set to head south to New Zealand Cup Week at Riccarton to contest the Gr.3 TAB Mile (1600m), however, Mynott has aborted that mission and said she will decide on a plan b following Saturday’s run. “We have decided not to go to Christchurch, she has just missed too much work unfortunately with this weather,” Mynott said. “She will run tomorrow and then we will make a new plan for her.” Miss Madridista, Mister Meaner and Linkin Park finished runner-up in their last starts, and Mynot is hoping they can go one better in their respective races on Saturday. “I thought it was a huge run first-up by Miss Madridista and she has just improved off that,” Mynott said. “She is working super and she should strip a bit fitter tomorrow. I think she should be running well. “Mister Meaner showed a lot of toughness last start and I thought it was quite impressive. He has got another win in him quite soon and I am looking forward to seeing him tomorrow, the Tauranga track should suit the way he likes to race. Hopefully one day we can get a nice barrier draw to make things a bit easier for him. “Linkin Park he has improved a lot since we have had him. That first run with us we hadn’t had him that long and a little bit went wrong in that run, but he just keeps improving, he is looking fantastic. He tried really hard last time and if he runs like he did the other day, he should go well.” Mynott’s Tauranga team will be rounded out by Aquilifer in the Super Liquor 1200. “We have been waiting for the weather to come right to give her a start,” she said. “She is only going to improve off the run. She always goes pretty well fresh, and she is working well at home, so I am looking forward to seeing her go around.” Meanwhile, Mynott was pleased with stablemate Drommy’s 1-1/4 length trial win over 1300m at Taupo on Thursday, and she said the Embellish three-year-old is one to look out for in the autumn. “He is a lovely horse and we have had him in the stable for a while,” she said. “We have taken our time with him, he was always a bit weak, but this preparation he has really furnished into a lovely horse. “I thought his trial was super, he is a real professional. We will trial him again and look to get him to the races. He is going to be a super autumn three-year-old.” View the full article -

Yulong has purchased a 50 percent share in outstanding prospect Well Written with welcome news that she will remain in the care of Cambridge trainer Stephen Marsh for the rest of her racing career. The racing and breeding powerhouse made their move following the Written Tycoon filly’s explosive display to distance her rivals in the Gr.2 Soliloquy Stakes (1400m) off the back of her runaway maiden success. “All the original owners have stayed in, it’s been an easy transition and if she is as good as what we think, she will campaign in Australia as a four-year-old,” said Marsh, whose stable bloodstock agent Dylan Johnson brokered the deal with Yulong. “It’s great not only for our stable, but for New Zealand racing and to see Yulong substantially investing in our industry which has come a long way in recent times.” Well Written is currently a $2.60 favourite to maintain her unbeaten record in next month’s Gr.1 Barneswood Farm New Zealand 1000 Guineas (1600m) at Riccarton. “She breezed through her last run and she galloped beautifully with Matt Cartwright in the saddle on Tuesday morning. “The 1000 Guineas and The NZB Kiwi have massive appeal to Yulong, it’s very exciting to have them in the stable.” Marsh will also be represented in the fillies’ feature at Riccarton by Little Black Dress, who is at $16 off the back of placings in the Soliloquy and Gr.3 Sunline Vase (1400m). “She’s improved with each run and the big mile at Riccarton should suit her,” he said. Marsh also has a pair of three-year-olds prominent in the market for the Gr.1 Al Basti Equiworld Dubai New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m) and could yet double his hand in the Classic. He has $8 chance Magic Carpet and $14 hope Swiss Prince set to head south for the Al Basti Equiworld Dubai-sponsored feature. They will round off their preparations in Saturday’s Gr.2 James & Annie Sarten Memorial (1400m) at Tauranga with the filly To Cap It All to also run in the rescheduled age group event. “She is more likely to head to the 2000 Guineas, providing she runs very well at the weekend, as it would be a one-week back-up for her into the 1000 Guineas,” Marsh said. “She could still do that, it’s not as hard as it used to when we had to float them down so we’re not ruling it out.” The daughter of Capitalist won the Listed Wellesley Stakes (1100m) last season and placed in both the Gr.1 Sistema Stakes (1200m) and Gr.2 Matamata Breeders’ Stakes (1200m). She will be fourth-up at Tauranga off the back of a fourth placing at Rotorua. Magic Carpet broke his maiden in fine style at his last outing when he landed the Gr.2 Hawke’s Bay Guineas (1400m) while Swiss Prince won a competitive maiden at Ellerslie last time out. He had placed in his three previous outings, including a third in the Listed Wanganui Guineas (1200m). “All going well, they will head down to Christchurch and Magic Carpet, To Cap It All and Swiss Prince all galloped on Wednesday morning,” Marsh said. “They all went beautifully, and I can’t fault any of them.” The highly regarded Moretothinkabout could also earn his spot in the 2000 Guineas team if he performs to his best next time out at Ellerslie. “He’s a nice colt and we really like him. He will run on Melbourne Cup Day in a maiden mile and if could win really well, then he will go down as well,” Marsh said. The son of So You Think finished runner-up in his only juvenile appearance and has been out of the frame in two runs this preparation but was less than three lengths off Swiss Prince at Ellerslie and the step up to a mile is expected to be more to his liking.
