Previously prepared by John O'Shea, Dublin Lass has continued to improve for Peter
and Paul Snowden and looks set for her best campaign yet judging by this stylish
win.Sent out favourite, she was well ridden by Kerrin McEvoy to surge late and win the 1100 metre sprint by half a length.
"She's in good form and when mares are in good form they're hard to beat," said Peter Snowden.
"There are races for her now every two weeks for the next six weeks.
"I won't be surprised if she wins another couple of races."
Snowden will look at the Listed Razor Sharp (1200m) at Randwick on December 12, then the Listed Canterbury Classic (1200m) at Randwick on Boxing Day and the Listed Takeover Target (1200m) at Gosford on Friday January 8, so it could be a very fruitful summer for Dublin Lass!.
The five year old daughter of champion New Zealand sire O'Reilly has seven wins and five seconds from 17 starts with prizemoney topping $360,000.
Dublin Lass was a $250,000 Inglis Easter purchase from the draft of Luskin Park
and runs for a syndicate that includes her breeders Paul Whelan and Wilf Mula."It's a great result for Paul and Wilf as they love their racing and are nearly always here when she runs," said Peter Snowden.
Dublin Lass is the first foal of lightly raced Elusive Quality (USA) mare Fashion Police, a grand-daughter of Group II winner Fine Recipe from the family of Group I VATC Blue Diamond winner Midnight Fever and Group I VRC Australian Guineas winner Rock Classic, who was also bred and sold by Luskin Park.
The second foal of Fashion Police is smart Manhattan Rain four year old year-old Mr Manhattan, who has won four of eight starts and also looms as a potential stakes horse.
Luskin Park sold a Starcraft colt from Fashion Police for $200,000 at Magic Millions earlier this year to Hawkes Racing and she has had a Snitzel filly this spring.
Luskin Park will be headed to the 2016 Magic Millions Yearling Sale in January with a pair of Snitzel yearlings, a colt and a filly. Click here to see the pedigrees.
