(Photo by Reg Ryan/Racing Photos) Unbeaten mare Cleo Cat will aim to extend her winning streak to six when she steps into black-type company for the first time in the Listed Black Pearl Stakes (1200m) at Geelong on Saturday. Trained by Tom Dabernig, the four-year-old has earned her opportunity to tackle higher company following a determined victory against her own sex in Benchmark 78 grade at Ballarat on December 7. “We’re going to give her her chance to try and get some black type,” Dabernig said. “She looks pretty good, but this might be a different test for her. “But still being against mares, it’s worth a try.” The Warrnambool-based mare will jump from barrier six with Jordan Childs, who has guided her to her last two victories, retaining the ride. Cleo Cat is currently a $9.50 hope with Neds for the Listed Black Pearl Stakes. Horse racing news View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
