The connections of Inglis graduates Samaready and Va Pensiero are set to aim higher at Group 1 events during the upcoming spring following victories at Group 3 level in Melbourne and Sydney respectively on Saturday.

Stratum colt Va Pensiero joined fellow Inglis graduates Snitzerland and Foxwedge as recent winners of the Group 3 ATC San Domenico Stakes when dashing away with the three-year-old feature in Sydney on Saturday.

Australia’s top rated three-year-old colt All Too Hard collected another Group 1 victory at Caulfield on Saturday, adding the weight-for-age C.F. Orr Stakes over 1400m to his Caulfield Guineas win earlier this season.
