Retained by breeder
Jazz Heart was suited when the leading division cutting out slick sectionals in the first half of this QTIS event at Doomben. It helped him round up the field with a brilliant burst down the centre of the track.
"He's a lovely, relaxed horse," jockey Ric McMahon said. "He'll get a lot further than 1200m and the mile won't be a problem if he goes down for the Caulfield Guineas."
If Jazz Heart makes it to the Caulfield Guineas he'll be attempting to emulate Show A Heart who won the Group 1 feature in 2000.
Glenlogan Park based Show A Heart got the winner from an Eagle Farm winning mare who hails from the family of Prime Address (Alzao). He collected 12 wins from 1000m to 2128m highlighted by a G3 victory in the VATC Eclipse Stakes at Sandown.
Bluedanu has a 2yo Falvelon colt who sold for $120,000 at the 2008 Gold Coast Magic Millions when offered by Royston Stud. The dam was served by Hotel Grand last year.

Fangles sat outside the leader and was going like a winner a long way from home. Trained locally by Stephen Jones, the Falvelon gelding has furnished into a magnificent type.
“He’s 17 hands and was still maturing as an autumn three year-old,” Jones said. “The spell has done him the world of good. He thickened right up and is going to be a nice horse, alright."
Fangles won two in a row over 1200m at Ipswich earlier this year and was spot on for his first-up assignment after winning a barrier trial.
“There’s plenty of improvement to come,” Jones promised. “Now we will look for a race in town.”
Fangles is one of six to race from Speranto and all of them are winners. The dam is a half-sister to Dashing Vagabond (Amun'Ra) who won 18 races from 1000m to 1400m including the Listed QTC Ascot Hcp.

Theydon Grove had weighed out at Ipswich and Gold Coast before transferring north in June. He started a $2.50 favourite at Innisfail and scored by a half-neck. He is by former slick sprinter Our Maizcay and his dam is an unraced half-sister to Hot Secret (Kenmare) who racked up 18 wins in NSW.
Theydon Grove is a half-brother to Aunty Betty (Encounter), a G3 winner of the STC Birthday Card Stakes at Rosehill. She was sold at the 2008 Magic Millions Broodmare Sale for $120,000 to Blue Sky Thoroughbreds.
What's The Buzz has a yearling colt by Barely A Moment and was covered by Not A Single Doubt last December.

She was unplaced at Corfield earlier this month after being obliged to race wide but made no mistake on an away trip to Mt Isa last Saturday. The winner is from the last crop of Buck’s Pride (Pride Of Kellina). His dam is related to stakes winner sprinter-miler Malta (Youthful Legs). She has been covered by Gainsborough Lodge sire Immovable Option (Fairy King) for the last three seasons.

T-Mark Currie (Toowoomba)
Passed-in $4,500 2007 Capricorn Sale; V-Greenvale Park
Longshot Kick Off ($41) didn’t fire on debut at Ipswich in July, however, he showed immense improvement to score by a nose under 3kg claimer Cameron Dixon at Toowoomba. He is by Ball Ball-San (Green Desert) who stands at Greenvale Park in the heart of the Darling Downs alongside Parameter, Skilful Star and Wishart. Kick Off’s dam was a juvenile winner and is closely related to Weigh (Biscay), a Listed 2yo winner of the VRC Red Roses Stakes.

Cash Fortune drew the fence so jockey Jana Piper stuck to the rails run and sprinted to a winning lead at the furlong. Cash Fortune is by former Oaklands Stud sire Aucash, a Danehill half-brother to Saintly, who won feature races in Hong Kong. Cash Fortune is the first foal of Fortune's Folly who is a descendant of Caulfield stakes winner Queen Of Angels (Without Fear).
