A recent jump-out at Flemington has left jockey Blake Shinn with high hopes for Drifting, a filly by Zousain, as he prepares to ride her in Saturday’s Group 3 Quezette Stakes (1100m) at Caulfield.
Trained by Peter Snowden, Drifting won the Group 3 Magic Night Stakes (1200m) in the autumn and will be making her first appearance of the season this weekend, starting from barrier three.
“She’s a really lovely filly, this girl,” Shinn told Racing.com.
“I jumped her out last Friday, and I was very impressed by the feel she gave me. Physically, she’s a really solid three-year-old, and mentally, she’s really there.
“She’s got great gate speed, tactically she’s brilliant, I expect her to put herself in a great position from a good draw.
“This is a great line-up of fillies, but I think she’s a very talented horse.”
