Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 20, 2020 Journalists Share Posted October 20, 2020 Avantage (Fastnet Rock) has had to play bridesmaid to stablemate Melody Belle (NZ) (Commands) in her last two starts and will now head for a short break before preparing for some summer Group One targets. The Jamie Richards-trained mare came close to dethroning Melody Belle in the Gr.1 Windsor Park Plate (1600m), however, she was comfortably beaten by 2-3/4 lengths in the Gr.1 Livamol Classic (2040m) on Saturday. Richards has been pleased with her campaign, which also included a third-placing in the Gr.1 Tarzino Trophy (1400m), and victory in the Gr.2 Foxbridge Plate (1200m) and said she deserves a well earnt break. “We will give her a little freshen-up. She’s around at home in the front paddock,” he said. “We will back off her for a couple of weeks and probably set her for sprinting races in the early part of the campaign and see how she comes through. “She will follow a similar campaign as to what she did leading into the autumn last year.” The post Freshen-up for Avantage appeared first on BOAY Racing News.
