One to Watch – Wyong

Tara Madgwick - Thursday November 29

This lightly raced daughter of Golden Slipper winner Sepoy was in a class of her own at Wyong on Thursday.

Sepoy

The Team Hawkes trained Enjoy Elsie was expected to run well as a short priced favourite off the back of a runaway win at the Rosehill barrier trials earlier this month and did not disappoint.

She led all the way for Tim Clark and sizzled over the 1000 metres in 57.64 seconds on slow ground winning by more than four lengths at just her second start.

Enjoy Elsie is a homebred for keen owner breeders Rob and Pam Crosby and is a half-sister to smart metropolitan winner Dawn Dawn from Dawned, a half-sister by One Cool Cat (USA) to Group winners Beat the Fade and Dawn Til Dusk.

Dawned has foaled this spring fore the Crosby’s delivering a colt by exciting grey Darley shuttler Frosted (USA).

Enjoy Elsie looks a bright prospect for Sepoy, who has enjoyed a good spring with new Group winners Native Soldier and Divine Quality.

Sepoy has one entry for Magic Millions, eight for Inglis Classic and four for Inglis Premier.
