Michael Freedman, operating out of Sydney, has directed Satin Summer towards Melbourne to compete in the forthcoming sprint races designed for three-year-old fillies.
The filly’s campaign is scheduled to commence at Caulfield this Saturday in the Group 3 Quezette Stakes over 1100 metres.
Freedman expressed that Melbourne offers a more favourable schedule for sprinting fillies, aside from the Group 2 Silver Shadow Stakes (1200m) at Randwick the following Saturday and the Group 2 Furious Stakes (1200m) at Randwick two weeks later.
“There’s not a lot here (in Sydney),” Freedman observed.
“You’ve got the Silver Shadow and the Furious, and after that there is nothing.
“You go down there (to Melbourne) and basically every second week there is a fillies sprint race.”
Satin Summer has competed only three times, winning on debut at Randwick in January before being elevated directly to Stakes company, where she finished fifth in the Listed Lonhro Plate at Randwick on January 7.
The filly was not seen on the track again until July 4, finishing third at Rosehill over 1100m.
Satin Summer has since undertaken a trial at Warwick Farm on August 4, after Freedman chose to scratch the filly from two prior race engagements.
“She’s had one run back and we’ve scratched off a couple of wide gates the last two times she was in,” Freedman remarked.
“She trialled at Warwick Farm with the blinkers on and went great and she’ll wear them in the Quezette, plus we’ve got Jamie Melham to ride her.”
Satin Summer has drawn barrier one for Saturday’s contest.
When inquired if Satin Summer would stay in Melbourne after Saturday’s run, Freedman replied, “Possibly, if that’s the way it pans out.”
