Gregers All The Way Win
Gregers made a one act affair of the Mitchelton Wines Plate, after drawing an outside gate she quickly found the fence, from there on the race became a procession, she was never in danger of defeat.
The long range plan is the Thousand Guineas and there is still room for improvement from what we saw at Moonee Valley.
She stripped a very fit filly, her coat was much better than when she won previously, with the extra distance not a matter for concern.
Her trainer, David Hayes, feels she could be a better chaser than a leader, however, that may take a bit of convincing as she looks a natural speed horse on what she has shown to date.
Much will depend on her progress over the next two weeks when she contests the Danehill Stakes at Flemington that will be a better guide as to whether she continues on to the Thousand Guineas.
The Danehill, down the straight six, would be a much more testing assignment than the 1200 metres at Moonee Valley.
From a Guineas point of view The Huntress turned in a nice run pleasing connections, she could not adapt to the early pace set by the winner, yet was running on well in the straight.
This was her first run since May when she finished third in Adelaide, she will be improved by the outing, the Guineas is also her mission.
