Breaking his maiden last time out when capturing the VRC Derby Preview (1800m) at Flemington, the Rory Hunter trained Autumn Mystery put himself into the $2m Group 1 VRC Derby (2500m) picture with a strong win in the Group 2 MRC Sportsbet Classic (2000m) on Caulfield Cup day.
It doesn’t seem that long ago since the Nick Olive stable had star filly Single Gaze win the Group 1 Vinery Stud Stakes (2000m) and also finish second in the Group 1 Caulfield Cup (2400m), but the stable looks to have another exciting filly in the shape of Group 3 MRC Ethereal Stakes (2000m) winner Spicy Lu.
