The second day of The Championships at Royal Randwick Saturday gets underway with the A$150,00 Listed Fernhill H., a 1600-metre test which marks the black-type debut of 'TDN Rising Star' Earth Angel (Aus) (Animal Kingdom).
Campaigned by Arrowfield, Belford Productions and Planette Thoroughbred Trading, the 2-year-old daughter of the tremendous racemare Miss Finland (Aus) (Redoute's Choice {Aus}) became the first winner for her first-season sire (by Leroidesanimaux {Brz}) when finding her best stride late to score on her Ballarat debut Mar. 8 (video).
Earth Angel (54kg) could face her biggest danger from stablemate Muraahib (Aus) (Reset {Aus}) (58kg), a two-time winner who was a close sixth in the G1 Blue Diamond S. Feb. 25 and a latest third in the G3 Baillieu S. at Rosehill Mar. 25.
