Sparkle Shines At Pakenham
Promising filly Princess Sparkle reigned supreme over her rivals with an impressive win at Pakenham yesterday.The Robert Smerdon-trained mare, raced by Nick Moraitis, was perfectly handled by apprentice Jack Hill who had her position last early on the inside and saving ground.
She was near last but bolting approaching the turn so Hill edged closer, before putting her into a gap at the top of the straight and letting her down.She sprinted quickly and gapped her rivals, tearing away to win by five lengths in a very impressive display.
The win was just the second in her 10 career starts but she will be fitter again and looks likely to be suited over more ground.
Princess Sparkle is by Bel Esprit out of a Sir Tristram mare, Helen Of Troy and bred by her Owner, Nick Moraitis. Congratulations Nick.
Princess To Sparkle At Pakenham
The Aquanita team have three runners engaged today at the meeting at Pakenham.The day begins with Princess Sparkle in race four, where the Robert Smerdon-trained mare looks an each-way chance.

The mare is fitte5r for one run from a spell where she was beaten for speed and finished at the tail, but didn’t have a lot of luck there.

She meets a far easier assignment today, is nicely weighted after the claim for Jack Hill, has dranw well and is much better suited over the longer journey.She is expected to improve sharply.
