Group 1 filly returns

Dual group 1 winning filly Anntonia will be out for redemption at Penrith on Thursday night.

The three-year-old is taking aim at the Breeders Challenge – a series she made her way through to the grand final in last season and finished second.

Anntonia has not raced since finishing third in the Australian Pacing Gold Final at Melton, Victoria, last May.

The daughter of Bettors Delight has had two official hit-outs in preparation for tonight’s qualifier and will be the short-priced favourite despite drawing the second row.

The Breeders Challenge heat for the three-year-old boys at Penrith on Thursday night is a much more open event with the likes of Bathurst Gold Crown winner Tasty Delight against the likes of Rocket Boy and Titian Raider who have both won their last three starts.

Rocket Boy began his racing career in New Zealand and has remained unbeaten in his three Australian starts.

He is trained by Jack Trainor who will also drive Anntonia.
