Dundeel Colt Worth Watching

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday September 18
Peter Dunn's Dodmark Thoroughbreds already have an exciting spring prospect and Derby contender in Just Thinkin' and will be hoping to unleash another at Warwick Farm later this afternoon.

Dundeel is the sire of EntenteThe Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott trained Dundeel colt Entente was an eye-catching debut third two weeks ago at the same venue and will be looking to cast off maiden status in the first race on the card.

While Just Think' is a homebred for Dodmark Thoroughbreds, Entente was purchased from the Inglis Premier Yearling Sale for $105,000 from the Bombora Downs draft.

He is a three-quarter brother to Group III placed High 'n' Dry from Stratum mare Nextess and while Black Type winners are sparse on the page, this colt is bred on the High Chaparral x Redoute's Choice that is looming as a very successful nick.

65 winners from 104 runners have been bred this way and they include five stakes-winners – three of them G1 winners in Ace High, D'Argento and Inference with the other two being Super Seth and Fasika.

Entente has been entered for the Caulfield Guineas and interestingly the Melbourne Cup, so he's certainly one to keep an eye on today.
