Inspirational Girl (NZ) (Reliable Man) impressed owner Bob Peters when finishing fifth in the Gr.1 Memsie Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield last month and he is hoping she can build on that result this weekend at Flemington.
The New Zealand-bred mare will contest the Gr.1 Makybe Diva Stakes (1600m) and Peters is expecting another bold showing from his Group One winner.
“She’s good and had the one run like (stablemate) Superstorm,” Peters told TAB Radio.
“I was pleased with her last couple of hundred metres (in the Memsie). Hopefully she can show us something.
“It’s probably going to be a bit stronger field than what Superstorm met on Saturday (in the Gr.2 Feehan Stakes, 1600m), but you have to come up against them at this time of the year.”
Inspirational Girl, now trained by Danny O’Brien, won nine of her previous 12 starts in Western Australia, including the Gr.1 Railway Stakes (1600m) and Gr.3 Asian Beau Stakes (1400m).
The daughter of Reliable Man was purchased out of Jamieson Park’s 2017 New Zealand Bloodstock Premier Yearling Sale for $190,000 by bloodstock agent John Chalmers.
