Forever Free has capped an unbeaten season as a two-year-old with a first stakes victory in .

Trained in Melbourne by Mathew and , Forever Free made it three wins from as many starts with a 1-1/4-length success in Saturday's Listed (1050m) for two-year-olds at Morphettville.

Ridden by , Forever Free began quickly to cross to the fence before sitting just off leader Zoushine but holding the inside to the home turn.

Forever Free, the $5 favourite, edged clear of Zoushine passing the 200m and was strong to the line to beat the Byron Cozamanis-trained Hard Rock Girl ($11), while with Zoushine ($6.50) held on for third another length away.

Forever Free's first two wins were in in a maiden over 1100m in March before scoring over the same distance on a wet track at Caulfield on April 4.

Zahra said Forever Free had done a good job and would now have a break and hopefully furnish ahead of her three-year-old season.

“I thought she was pretty impressive,” Zahra said.

“I thought it was a better win than last start at Caulfield.

“The Caulfield win was more workmanlike but today she really showed a good turn of foot.

“It was a smart ride. He didn't get into a speed battle. He was happy to let the other horse lead him and just saved her for one run.”

By out of Soaressa, Forever Free is a sister to multiple stakes winner .

Zahra said Forever Free, who he hopes can stretch out to at least 1400m next season, had come a long way and should learn a lot from the trip away.

“She hadn't done that well over there, the trip took a bit out of her, so she's done a good job,” he said.

“She'll head to the paddock now. She's got the black-type as a two-year-old that we were after.”
