Bleu Zebra made it two in a row and provided trainer Tony Gollan with the middle leg of the stable’s winning treble at Doomben on Saturday.
The three-year-old filly had saluted at the same track over 1050m back on 30 December in Class 1 company and Gollan stepped up the test here asking Bleu Zebra to tackle 1200m in a Three-Year-Old Fillies Handicap … a test she passed with flying colours.
‘I think scratchings played a part in the trace. Once Natalie McCall’s horse (Magic Delta) came out it sort of paved the way for the race to unfold the way it did,” offered Gollan.
