Daily Debutants

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday October 11

Stuart Ramsey’s Turangga Farm have been enjoying plenty of recent success with their top class filly Champagne Cuddles and another of their homebred fillies has caught the eye as a Daily Debutant to watch on Wednesday.

Three year-old Charge Forward filly Empress Matilda is a full sister to Group I VRC Coolmore Stud Stakes winner Headway, who also finished second in a Golden Slipper.

Trained by Team Hawkes, Empress Matilda finished second at her only previous trial and will carry the Ramsey colours in race two at Warwick Farm with Corey Brown to ride.
