One to Watch - Goulburn

Tara Madgwick - Friday May 26

Progressive So You Think sprinter Think About It will take a picket fence of five straight wins into the $1million Group I BRC Kingsford Smith Cup (1300m) at Eagle Farm on Saturday, while at Goulburn on Friday his half-sister by Pierro broke the ice to win her first race.

Trained by Richard and Will Freedman, three year-old filly Kokoshnik had run three seconds in her previous four starts so was overdue for a win and got the job done as a short priced favourite.

She was strong to the line to win the 1300m maiden by a length to the great delight of her big team of Dynamic Syndications owners.

A $140,000 Inglis Classic purchase from the Newgate Farm draft for Dynamic Syndications / Dean Watt Bloodstock, Kokoshnik was bred by Greg and Dona Kolivos of Lightning Thoroughbreds, who enjoyed so much success racing her sire Pierro.
