NO STOPPING AMAPOLA

Three-year-old filly Amapola is showing she has what it takes to get results as she made it successive wins with victory at Mornington on Monday. 

She took up the running for jockey Zac Spain in the 1500m BM58 event and once again had to absorb mid-race pressure before holding off all challenges in the run to the line. 

"It was another really strong performance. Given the way the track is racing we were forced to lead to give ourselves the best chance, but I would say she may be even better suited with a sit and being able to chase them down," Spain said post-race. 

"But having said that she was excellent and was able to kick strongly rounding the turn and then she dug deep when challenged with 100m to go. She is really progressing nicely."

The daughter of Zoustar now improves her record to two wins and a second from seven career starts.
