The highly promising STROLL will be shooting for consecutive stakes scalps when she lines up in the Listed Tattersall’s Life Member Stakes (1400m) at Eagle Farm on Saturday.
The beautifully-bred daughter of SNITZEL was a brilliant winner of the Listed Bill Carter Stakes (1200m) at Eagle Farm earlier this month, justifying her $450,000 price tag as a yearling.
While another 2YO stakes win would greatly enhance STROLL’s CV, there is plenty to look forward to beyond Saturday as trainers Steve O’Dea and Matt Hoysted have identified the $2 million Magic Millions Guineas (1400m) at the Gold Coast as a primary summer target.
SEBRING 3YO filly FETCH will also be chasing back-to-back wins at Eagle Farm’s Tattersall’s Tiara meeting when she takes on a select field in the $150,000 Edward Street Brisbane 3YO Fillies (1200m).

Upcoming Proven Thoroughbreds runners
Doomben Wednesday June 22
QTIS 3YO Maiden Handicap 1200m:
GOSSIP COLUMN
Steve O’Dea and Matt Hoysted/Boris Thornton
Comment: Dominant trial winner at Doomben earlier this month but a wide draw first-up with the rail out has dented her chances.
QTIS 3YO BM65 Handicap 1200m:
KARAOKE QUEEN
Steve O’Dea and Matt Hoysted/Samantha Collett
Comment: Back from a freshen-up. Gets out beyond 1000m for the first time in four career starts and that looks right up her alley.
BM72 Handicap 1350m:
SECRET TALES
Steve O’Dea and Matt Hoysted/Jaden Lloyd
Comment: Won two on the trot and then didn’t appreciate the very heavy conditions at the Gold Coast when rising to stakes company. Freshened up since then and drops sharply in grade with an attractive weight.
Canberra Friday June 24
Class 1 Plate 2000m:
FORTIVACI
Joe Pride/Alysha Collett
Comment: Raced a bit more tractably last start but was outsprinted in the run home. Gives the impression he is looking for a staying trip but needs to lift.
Eagle Farm Saturday June 25
Listed Tattersalls Life Member Stakes 1400m
STROLL
Steve O’Dea and Matt Hoysted/Willie Pike
Comment: Strong winner over 1200m here in the Listed Bill Carter Stakes three weeks ago. The distance rise suits and gets the services of Willie Pike again.
Edward Street Brisbane 3YO Fillies 1200m:
FETCH
Steve O’Dea and Matt Hoysted/Ben Thompson
Comment: Too classy first-up at Doomben in midweek company. Always shown Saturday level ability but will need to be at her best to overcome this field.
Gold Coast Saturday June 25
Fillies & Mares Class 1 Plate 1100m
COME CLEAN
Steve O’Dea and Matt Hoysted/TBA
Comment: Not seen since running third at the Sunshine Coast in April. Close up in a recent trial and is a winner first-up previously.
Gatton Saturday June 25
QTIS 3YO Fillies Class 1 Plate 1100m
COME CLEAN
Steve O’Dea and Matt Hoysted/TBA
Comment: Not seen since running third at the Sunshine Coast in April. Close up in a recent trial and is a winner first-up previously.
