Sydney, May 2 – The Ratings 85 event over 1100 metres at Rosehill on Saturday was won by talented Encosta de Lago filly Margham, a $700,000 purchase from the draft of Yarraman Park at the 2007 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale.
Resuming from a break of 20 weeks, Margham had a real fresh edge about her, bouncing from the barriers and leading throughout to score a stylish win for the Peter Snowden stable.
Margham has now won three of seven starts earning $149,850 in prizemoney and looks capable of measuring up to Black Type company in the future.
Bred by Mike O’Donnell of Fairhill Farm, Margham was consigned by Yarraman on his behalf and is the fourth foal of stakes-placed Desert End (USA), a half-sister to stakes-winner Royal Med (USA), the dam of classy Kiwi Group Two winner Millennium.
