Friday’s win of JUST GRAND (2004 Ready To Run, $25,000) over 1900m at Canterbury highlighted the versatility of the Breeze Up Sale Graduates. Both JUST GRAND and Wednesday’s victor SEA BATTLE (2005 Ready To Run, $15,000) who won over 1400m are both lightly raced and have already paid connections back their purchase price, the former galloper being stakes placed over the Brisbane Winter carnival in the Gr. 3 QTC Grand Prix Stakes.

Widden Stud as agent will offer Lot 46, a bay colt from leading European sire Invincible Spirit (IRE). Last start Gr. 1 Caulfield Guineas runner up Excites now adds further credence to the 2nd dam of the pedigree. The sole Redoute’s Choice offering in the catalogue, Lot 123 to be offered by Wadham Park Bloodstock is a half-brother to the talented Sonic Quest (Quest For Fame GB)) Trained by Lee Freedman, he has had 5 starts for 2 wins, being in the money in the remaining three.

Lot 129, one of over 20 lots offered by leading Victorian nursery Eliza Park as agent, sees further black type added to this international based pedigree. Adorable Lydia, a daughter of stakes winner Exceptional Ride, is now the dam of Gr. 2 winner Northern Soldier.
