Unbeaten Smart Missile filly Smart Melody continued on her winning way at Caulfield on Sunday, racing to a comfortable victory in the
Group 3 MRC Thousand Guineas Prelude over 1400 metres.
SMART MELODY winning the Thousand Guineas Prelude 1400m at Caulfield
However going forward her trainer Kris Lees is not completely confident the 1600 metres of the Group 1 MRC Thousand Guineas on October 13 is her best option.
Smart Melody won her only two starts last season by a combined total of 10.6 lengths and has progressed in leaps and bounds this spring.
She travelled up on the pace for Brenton Avdulla and scored a length win over Thrillster with Group 1 winning filly El Dorado Dreaming in third place.
Lees noted Smart Melody went from the 1100m of her previous Flemington win to the 1400m of the Thousand Guineas Prelude, adding he needed to analyse her performance before locking in a Thousand Guineas start over 1600m on October 13.
"I wouldn't say she'd eat it (1600m) up. I'll have to reassess it off the back off it," Lees said.
"I'll have a look at the videos and see how she does but she has jumped from 1100 to 1400m in a fortnight so I think there's a lot of positives there.
"She raced without cover but she had a perfect run for Brenton. He let her go at the top of the straight and she put a nice gap in them.
"She was running on empty a touch but she has still held them off quite comfortably."
Smart Melody is the first winner for stakes-winning Encosta de Lago mare Sweetest Melody.
With five wins in as many starts and prizemoney in excess of $280,000, Smart Melody looks a real rising star for dominant young sire Smart Missile, who stands at a fee of $13,200 at Twin Hill Stud.
Smart Melody is one of six stakes-winners for Smart Missile, a son of champion sire Fastnet Rock.
Shortly, DYNAMIC SYNDICATIONS will release our final offer for 2018.

Our Colt by SMART MISSILE x SERENADE LILY in training 12 September 2018
Further add the fact that his Dam is a winning half-sister to a Champion Australian 3yo who won 3 Gr1 races, the family is commercially very strong.
Our Colt is bred on the excellent DANEHILL x KINGMAMBO cross which has been highly successful producing 35 stakes winners and earning an A+++ rating score.
Typical of the SMART MISSILE progeny is the fact that they are not natural 2yo’s but rather develop through their 2yo season to be at their best when they turn 3yo’s.
This is also the same situation with the female family of our colt.
This family shows tremendous ability once they turn 3yo’s and then go on with it as older horses.

Our colt looks to be built in the same mode and he will be in and out of training as a 2yo to ensure he has the necessary education and development to be a Spring 3yo prospect.
Dynamic Syndications offer a special colt with a tremendous opportunity to achieve racetrack success being trained by the legendary Australian HALL OF FAME Trainer GAI WATERHOUSE and ADRIAN BOTT.
