WA-bred five-year-old Acharne Girl enhanced her prospects in next Friday night’s Group 3 WASBA Breeders Stakes with a dashing last-to-first win in the 2130m Retravision, For All Your Electrical Stuff You Love Pace at Gloucester Park on Friday night.
She was the $1.70 favourite from wide at barrier No. 8 and Gary Hall Jnr was confident as he bided his time at the rear before asking her for an effort. She responded by sustaining a strong three-wide burst which carried her to the front on the home turn on the way to winning by a length from the $14 pacemaker Let it Linga, rating 1.56.3.
Acharne Girl, trained by Gary Hall Snr, has been a consistent performer who boasts a record of 27 starts for ten wins, six placings and $153,674.
“From barrier eight I thought her best chance was to drop back,” explained Hall Jnr. “I expected it would take a while for the rest of the field to sort themselves out, and this would suit me. Her two previous runs had put the writing on the wall.”
