Emerging mare TERMAGANT took another step forward in her burgeoning career with a narrow though meritorious victory at Eagle Farm on Saturday.
Tackling 1200m and Class 6 company for the first time, the daughter of DEEP FIELD enjoyed a cosy run throughout from the one alley, before dashing clear in the straight and clinging on to just prevail.
“She showed her class today,” trainer Matt Hoysted opined after the race.
“This filly revealed how tractable she can be, holding a position much closer to the pace and running out a strong 1200m.”
