Classy filly STROLL can rubber stamp her Magic Millions Guineas credentials with another stakes win on Saturday.
The dual-stakes winner returns to Doomben for the Group 3 Vo Rogue Plate (1350m) after taking out the Listed Mode Stakes (1200m) on December 3.
And the form out of the Mode Plate was franked last Saturday when the Mode Stakes third-place getter SUNSHINE IN PARIS emerged an impressive winner of the last event at Randwick.
The Steve O’Dea-Matt Hoysted camp also has TERANGA down to race at Doomben’s New Year’s Eve meeting while stablemate CANADIAN DANCER will head south to Randwick.
The first day of 2023 will see the Joe Pride-trained mare SNIPPY FOX resume in the Listed Canterbury Stakes (1200m) as she looks to add to her stakes placing from last preparation.

Ipswich Friday Dec 30
F&M Class 3 Plate 1200m:
MERSEYSIDE
Steve O’Dea & Matt Hoysted/Brodie Loy

G3 Vo Rogue Plate 1350m:
STROLL

TERANGA
Steve O’Dea & Matt Hoysted/Jaden Lloyd (a1.5)
Comment: Excellent first-up run over 1350m here when beaten narrowly after sustaining a long run to the post. Will relish this distance rise.

BM78 Handicap 1600m:
CANADIAN DANCER
