Trained by Peter Moody and Katherine Coleman, Mem’s Choice was well fancied in the 1200m maiden and hit the line strongly to win by a length adding to the impressive record of her dam Abscond.

An $825,000 Inglis Easter purchase from Sledmere Stud for Peter Moody on behalf of Gary Chittick of Waikato Stud, Mem’s Choice is a full sister to Group I winning $3million earner Invincibella, who produced her first winner last week when Justify (USA) filly Mergeila saluted at Canterbury on Wednesday.

Mem's Choice was an $825,000 Inglis Easter purchase.

Mem’s Choice is the fourth winner from seven to race from unraced Galileo mare Abscond, whose other three winners are Group III winner Secret Blaze and stakes-winner Extreme Flight, who stands at Rosemont Stud in Victoria.

Abscond produced a colt by Golden Slipper winner Stay Inside last spring and is due to foal to I Am Invincible.

One to Watch – Ballarat
Synthetic track meetings at Ballarat can throw up some misleading form, but a debut winner from the Tony and Calvin McEvoy stable that started in the red and won by nine lengths is probably worth a closer look.
Snitzel Filly Bridal Waltz Wins A.R. Creswick Stakes
While many felt the winner of Saturday’s Listed $175,000 VRC A.R. Creswick Stakes (1200m) had raced two weeks prior in the Shop Flemington Handicap (1100m) – and they would’ve been correct – but it was not the result many punters felt it would be!
Marble Nine Brings Up Second Stakes Winner For Aquis’ Kobayashi

Invincible 2YO Colt wins for Bennett Racing
The $150,000 VRC Next Gen Sprinters Series Final (1200m) for two year-olds at Flemington on Saturday drew a competitive field of progressive juveniles and the colt that stood out on type in the yard was the one that got the cash with I Am Invincible colt Jimmy Recard proving too good for race favourite Bacash.
Pride’s Outsider Estadio Mestalla Wins Winter Stakes
The lone stakes race on Rosehill’s ten-race card on Saturday saw Joe Pride’s race outsider Estadio Mestalla (Galileo Gold) take out the $200,000 Listed ATC Winter Stakes (1400m) in a boilover.
