Fresh and ready to fire at his first run back from a spell, the Toby Edmonds
trained Whypeeo flew over the heavy ground to win the 1050 metre dash by more than four lengths,
prompting his trainer to speculate on a possible run in the Group I BRC Doomben
10,000 on May 12..Also a stakes-winner at Doomben in December, Whypeeo looks set for a good campaign and has the impressive strike rate of five wins from nine starts with prizemoney in excess of $300,000.
A $200,000 Magic Millions purchase for Blue Sky Bloodstock from the Yarraman Park draft, Whypeeo is a half-brother to Group II winner Meliora and is the sixth winner from six to race from terrific producer Sunset Boulevard.
A stakes-winner at the Gold Coast last year, the Ben Currie trained With a Promise relished the heavy conditions to race up on the pace and score a half neck win in the Tails Stakes over 1600 metres.
A modest $26,000 Magic Millions purchase for Boomer Bloodstock from the Corumbene Stud draft, With a Promise runs for Mishani Enterprises and has won eight of 22 starts earning over $300,000 in prizemoney.
