HIFALUTIN FLIES AT BUNBURY

Classy 3yo filly HIFALUTIN showed just how good she is with a brave and convincing win at Bunbury on Tuesday. After enjoying the run of the race courtesy of a good ride and a good barrier, the filly seemed to lose her position coming to the corner and appeared to be in trouble as the field swung for home. That is when Jason Whiting was seen at his best with a brilliant piece of patient riding to get the filly out into the open and have enough horse and time to round up the leaders.

HIFALUTIN showed by the win that she is somewhat of a specialist at the 1400m trip and I aim to keep her racing over a similar distance in the future. The filly is yet to be beaten at the journey and although she has won at 1000m, I am convinced that 1400m is her best at the moment. With more age and maturity she should run out a strong 1600m and maybe even further with age.

There are a number of ideal races over the next month or so where this filly can really strut her stuff and with an ounce of luck she should gain a bit more black type.
