Modern Wonder wins 2016 Dequetteville Stakes Listed $100,000 at Morphettville (SA) 2yoFillies, 1050m.
The Leon and Troy Corstens-trained filly Modern Wonder put up a really smart effort in winning this fillies’ Listed race on debut. She began well and raced outside the leader (Moshki) before dashing clear on passing the 200m. She then went on to score impressively.
Motown Lil settled in eighth place on the rails, got along the inner on turning for home and kept battling on well for a good second, without looking likely to trouble the winner.
Neapolitan had a nice trip in third place on the rails from her inside barrier (1) and kept fighting on nicely to just hold the minor placing.
