Listed J.C. Roberts S., $125,000, 1800m
Remaining undefeated after three starts Rokanori (Awesome Rock) handled a rise in class with aplomb. Bred by the Gales family and purchased by Shane Nichols for $165,000 at the 2020 Magic Millions Perth Yearling Sale, the half-brother to the Listed winner Takanori (Vital Equine {Ire}) became his sire's second stakes winner on the six year anniversary of that horse losing the G1 Australian Cup on protest!
Listed Natasha S., $125,000, 2200m
A homebred by Mr GF Durrant and Mr A Wilson, Constant Dreaming (Blackfriars) made it two in a row on the back of her Listed WA Thousand Guineas success. One of the 46 stakes winners for her late sire, she is a full sister to the Listed Aquanita S. winner Tena Koutou out of a city-winning daughter of the Listed Belmont Oaks winner Kia Ora Miss (Jeune {GB}).
