On Saturday February 5 Hobart Racecourse is set to host Tasmania Derby Day featuring three Tasmanian Summer Racing Carnival stakes races including the $150,000 Bow Mistress Trophy (1200m).
The 2011 Bow Mistress Trophy final field has attracted a capacity 15 fillies and mares plus one emergency ready to face off in the weight-for-age showdown.
Leading the entries is Lady Lynette, the six-year-old mare resuming for the season after a solid spring campaign.
Trained by David and Scott Brunton, Lady Lynette enjoyed a number of Group placings last year and also won the Group 3 Tesio Stakes (1600m) at Moonee Valley on Cox Plate Day.
First-up on Saturday, Lady Lynette has drawn ideally with barrier three and is due to be ridden by Brendon McCoull.
I'm A Hussy has drawn barrier 10 for the 2011 Bow Mistress Trophy
I’m A Hussy is also first up for the season, her last start being a distant 12th in the Group 2 Tristarc Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield on October 16, however showed improvement with a winning barrier trial on January 25.
David and Scott Brunton also have in-form Testa Rossa mare Testamarriage coming off a close second to Paddy’s Jubilee here on January 23 and Cool Heat running in the Bow Mistress on Saturday, both drawing well with gates one and four respectively.
Other notable Bow Mistress Trophy acceptors include Bel Esprit mare Bel Shoes (barrier 13) who last ran a devastatingly close second over 1200m at Caulfield on January 8, improving four-year-old Happy Angel (barrier eight) to be ridden by James Winks and Glamour Legs (barrier nine).
The Charlie Goggin-trained Glamour Legs has been in red hot form this season, enjoying back-to-back Class wins over 1400m this month making her a nice roughie pick on Saturday.
Interstate raiders looking for victory at Hobart in the Bow Mistress this year include Gai Waterhouse’s Elusvie Quality mare Princess Quality (barrier five) and the Peter Moody-trained Tan Tat Tess.
Testa Rossa four-year-old Tan Tat Tess scored a nice win at Moonee Valley last start on January 14 and with a good barrier six draw could have the ability to score her maiden stakes victory here.
The 2011 Tasbreeders Bow Mistress Trophy is scheduled as Hobart Race 9 on Saturday, the meeting headlined by the Group 3 Tasmanian Derby (2200m) where Ludka is the favourite.
