Daily Debutants

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday January 24
A filly by leading sire Not a Single Doubt from the family of Redoute’s Choice is expected to make her presence felt at Ballarat on Wednesday.

Not a Single DoubtTrained by Danny O’Brien, three year-old filly Summer Sham lines up in a fairly modest maiden featuring another nicely bred first starter from Team Hawkes in Over and Above, a three year-old gelding by All Too Hard from Group II winning More Than Ready (USA) speedster Olonana.

Summer Sham is the first foal of Hot Summer Night, a grand-daughter of super producer Shantha’s Choice, the dam of Group I winners Redoute’s Choice, Manhattan Rain and Platinum Scissors.

Neither of these three year-olds have trialled but the market suggests both have shown enough to warrant interest in this race.
