The Group One Galaxy in Sydney is in trainer Mick Price’s sights after mare She’s So High’s return to racing with a convincing win in a Listed race at Flemington.<\/p>\n
Making her first appearance since claiming Adelaide’s Gr.3 Proud Miss Stakes on a soft track last May, She’s So High settled behind the lead in Saturday’s ATA\/Bob Hoysted Handicap (1000m) and hit the front at the 200m.<\/p>\n
With Damien Oliver aboard, the $2.30 favourite sprinted clear before being eased down late to beat Thermal Current ($15) by a length, with another three-quarters of a length to I Am Someone ($4.20) third.<\/p>\n
With the track rated a Good (4), Price said She’s So High was able to get sufficient give in the ground to let down strongly.<\/p>\n
And he’s hoping to strike some soft ground in Sydney during autumn.<\/p>\n
“She was never going to be a summer mare and she will be off to Sydney now,” Price said.<\/p>\n
“She might be a nice horse to run in The Galaxy over 1100 metres if we kept her fresh.<\/p>\n
“She’s not a Group One mare at the moment, so you are always trying to improve them.<\/p>\n
“If I can keep her fresh I think it would a beautiful race for her if the track is chopping out a bit for her.”<\/p>\n
The Galaxy is at Rosehill in three weeks and Oliver also believes the four-year-old could make her presence felt should she head that way.<\/p>\n
“I wouldn’t put that beyond her, for sure,” he said.<\/p>\n
“It was a comfortable win today. She has come back well and it was a nice race for her.”<\/p>\n
She’s So High was bred by Kambula Stud and was pinhooked as a $65,000 weanling before being purchased by Blueblood Thoroughbreds for $120,000 out of Amarina Farm’s 2016 Magic Millions Yearling Sale draft. -AAP<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
