While trainer Stephen Marsh may be away in Hong Kong putting the finishing touches on El Vencedor in his bid to win the Gr.1 QE II Cup (2000m) on Sunday, he enjoyed a red-letter day at Te Rapa on Saturday as promising filly Ardalio claimed the Gr.3 Windsor Park Stud Cambridge Breeders’ Stakes (1200m) to bring up a winning treble for the stable.
Having finished just over a length and three quarters off Group 1 winner Asfoora (Flying Artie) last start in the Group 3 SAJC R N Irwin Stakes (1100m), it was no surprise to see Watchme Win (Harry Angel) jump away the race favourite in the Group 3 SAJC John Hawkes Stakes (1100m) at Morphettville.
