Lightly-raced six-year-old mare Jennivamoose scored a comfortable victory at Moonee Valley on Saturday under a patient Harry Coffey ride.
Prepared by Ciaron Maher for Tony and Lynn Ottobre’s Cape Schanck Racing, Jennivamoose was dropped out to near the rear of the field by Coffey but quickened readily when asked.
The daughter of Vadamos looped the field and ran out a 1.25-length winner over fellow Kiwi-breds Bluestone and Flamin’ Romans.
“It was a class ride,” Assistant Trainer Jack Turnbull said.
“They didn’t go that hard either so I was a little bit worried, but she picked up when he asked her and she was strong through the line.
“It was a very good win. She ran a really good race here a long time ago when trained by Andrew Noblet where she was beaten by one of ours, so it was good to see her repeat the effort at the same venue today.
“She was off the scene with an injury but we got her in great order and she flicks between Cranbourne and Tony Ottobre’s property at Cape Schanck where they do a wonderful job with her.
“She had such good colour to her today, was very fit and clearly she has got an affinity with this track.
“We have aspirations to get to better races and this is all part of it so we won’t step out of our mark too much but we can go to an 84 somewhere in the next three or four weeks and then progress to better races.”
The winner of four of her 13 starts with a further three placings, Jennivamoose has won A$183,950 in prizemoney to date.
