Having his first start for the Michael Freedman yard, Godolphin’s 3yo I Am Invincible colt Ohope resumed from a spell on Tuesday to land his maiden victory, winning the Blakes Marine Maiden Handicap (1100m) at Hawkesbury.

In what may be the strongest maiden we’ve seen in a month or two in Sydney, at least three fillies with spring stakes potential, along with an unraced blueblood, are slated to kick off their campaigns on the Kensington track on Wednesday, all coming off excellent trials.
