+EYES ON ASHA (IRE) (f, 3, Redoute's Choice {Aus}–Sunday Nectar {Ire} {SW-Ity & GSP-Eng, $110,969}, by Footstepsinthesand {GB}), a €75,000 AR15 yearling and €775,000 ARQMAY 2yo, was green after missing the kick and sat with two behind throughout the early stages. Picking up strongly towards the stand's side to lead approaching the furlong pole, the 3-1 second favourite was pushed out to win by 2 1/2 lengths from Sulafah (Ire) (Mawatheeq). The first foal out of the G3 Oak Tree S. runner-up Sunday Nectar who was a listed winner in Italy, Eyes On Asha is related to Thursday's impressive Chantilly winner Spotify (Fr), also by Redoute's Choice due to her connection with that Wertheimer homebred's dam Gwenseb (Fr) (Green Tune). That G3 Prix du Bois winner is becoming a burgeoning influence for that operation and her presence in the pedigree allied to the fact that Eyes On Asha recorded a fast breeze saw near go near to the Sale record last May. Next up from Sunday Nectar is a 2-year-old daughter of Invincible Spirit (Ire) named Showrunner (Ire) and a yearling colt by Mastercraftsman (Ire). Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $3,770.
