Progressive staying three-year-old Bold Soul tuned up for next week’s Gr.1 South Australian Derby (2500m) with a strong win in the Gr.3 Chairman's Stakes (2000m) at Morphettville for trainer Patrick Payne and jockey Jake Noonan.
Clinton Isdale backed his judgment when entering Beebeep in last Saturday’s Gr.3 Sweynesse Stakes (1200m) at Te Rapa, and the Cambridge horseman was duly rewarded when the mare scored a runner-up result behind Johny Johny.
A stellar season for Sharp ‘N’ Smart has drawn to a close with Graeme Rogerson confident his charge will return bigger and better to challenge for major Cups honours as a four-year-old.
