One to Watch – Bendigo

Tara Madgwick - Sunday September 8

Little Avondale Stud’s Per Incanto (USA) has a great record in Australia thanks to the likes of Group I winners Little Brose and Roch n Horse, plus former star sprinter Lost and Running with smart three year-old Evaporate, who won at Moonee Valley on Saturday, a star on the rise and another good winner on Sunday has spring aspirations.

Three year-old colt Rue de Royale collected nearly $700,000 last season despite not winning a race with lucrative second placings in the $1million ATC Golden Gift and $2million Inglis Millennium as well as a second in the Group II VRC Sires Produce Stakes.

He needed the run when resuming from a spell to finish fifth to exciting colt Daggers at Moonee Valley last month and dropped back to maiden class for this assignment found it a walk in the park.

Trained by Tony and Calvin McEvoy and ridden by john Allen, Rue de Royale controlled the race and skipped away to win the 1300m maiden by a couple of lengths.

A $180,000 Inglis Classic purchase from the Sledmere Stud draft for McEvoy Mitchell Racing Pty Ltd / Belmont Bloodstock Agency, Rue de Royale is now a winner at his ninth start and having broken the ice should have more wins in store.

He is the second winner from well bred Exceed and Excel mare Urban Royale, a three-quarter sister-in-blood to Darley blue hen Essaouira, the dam of Group I winners Alizee and Astern as well as boom young sire Tassort.
