Metro Double for Vert de Grece

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday August 10

Relocating to Brisbane Meadows in NSW this spring, promising young sire Vert de Grece (IRE) posted a new winner in his former home of Western Australia on Wednesday when Candelight Supper broke her maiden at Belmont.

Second at her past two starts at Northam, she was sent out favourite for the 1700m maiden and strode home an easy two length winner.

Trained by Alan Matthews, Candlelight Supper looks as those there are more wins in store. She is the third winner from metro winning Red Ransom (USA) mare Rare Subject.
