Satono Aladdin Filly impresses on Debut

[Wandering Eyes]

The juvenile fillies maiden over 1000m at Warwick Farm on Wednesday featured some very expensive fillies, but it was a Kiwi bred that took the prize with Satono Aladdin filly Satono Glow (NZ) (Satono Aladdin) creating a fine impression with a debut win.

Trained by John O’Shea and Tom Charlton, Satono Glow won her only previous trial at Hawkesbury and was expected to run well with Dylan Gibbons in the saddle.

Satono Glow ambled out of the gates and settled last before rounding them up after turning for home to win by half a length.

Dylan Gibbons was always confident he was on the winner.

“She jumped on terms and she sort of made my decision quickly for me,” said Gibbons.

“To be honest, when she got back there, I always felt I had a bit underneath me, but I just loved that in those tricky fields, the leader can get away from you a bit, but when I first asked for an effort I felt I had the race under control.

“I really just saved the whip for when she got there, to let her know to keep going on with the job, but that was a very professional debut.”

Tom Charlton expects Satono Glow can measure up to stakes company in the future.

“She’s got a good mind and that’ll take her a long way in life and she’s all natural. We’re pretty pleased for everyone involved,” he said.

“We think they’ve potentially got a Black Type filly, we hope, on our hands in time.”
