Vivacious Spirit at Caulfield.
February 10th, 2008
Talented three filly, Vivacious Spirit was coming back off stakes class to the Sandown Park (U.K.) Hcp at Caulfield on Saturday and took the event with ease.
Jumping away best from barrier four in the 11-strong field under Craig Newitt who allowed the bay daughter of Bel Esprit to stride to the front. Controlling the race off a solid tempo he then allowed her to drift out two or three horses away from the inside rail in the straight. Asking her for another effort she accelerated away from her rivals to score a solid length-and-three-quarters win over La Goulue (Danehill Dancer - Yes She Can Cancan by Canny Lad) with Centexpress (Centaine - Brooke's Express by Snippets) another 2-3/4 lengths away in third.
The win was Vivacious Spirit's second after her excellent third first-up run in the Listed Kevin Hayes (1200m) Stakes at the same track two weeks earlier on return from her short let-up. Along with that black type placing the victory on Saturday was her second and it took her in her earnings past $90,000. Out of the Snippets mare Bit of Bliss who is the dam of the nine time winner Jacques Le Naif (by Encosta de Lago) and descends from a family that's produced the Group One winners, Al Hareb (by El Gran Senor) and Snowland (by Snippets).
