Sinatra Salutes

Always travelling well for Jamie Mott at Ballarat on Sunday, talented mare Miz Sinatra raced away to a soft victory in the 1400m Showcase event at only her third Australian outing.

Catching the eye at her first two runs for the Flemington stables, Miz Sinatra was unlucky not to have won her previous start at Pakenham where she finished a close up third after drifting into the worst part of the track.

No such issues this time, the four-year-old sitting second - hitting the lead at the 220m and finding plenty over the final stages.

"She is a really nice horse," Jamie Mott enthused.

"She lobbed outside the leader very easily and travelled well. We may have got to the front a little bit early but when the second horse came to her she just switched on and she was never going to get beaten."

"She will," he continued, "get a lot further and I am sure she will win a lot more races."

Bred by Gerald Bell who races her with Ballymore Stables, Michael Caporale, Leo Marin, Justin Ray, Max Massella and Michael Cutajar, Miz Sinatra is a daughter of Redoute's Choice stllion Duelled.

A half-sister to the Melbourne stable's mutliple city winning mare Shylock's Daughter who was also bred and part raced by Bell, Miz Sinatra is out of the winning Star Way mare Solar Shower - a half sister to the Listed winner Morphy.
