Strykum wins 2015 Queen Adelaide Stakes Listed $80,000 at Morphettville (SA) 2yo, 1050m.
Strykum travelled very well outside the leader (Misty Waters). She moved up strongly at the 200m, hit the front at the 100m and although she raced a bit greenly nearing the post, appeared to win with quite a bit in hand by three quarters of a length. It was only her second start and she looks a quality filly.
Favourite Thurlow was back in eighth place, improved (wide) nearing the home turn and went to the centre of the straight on straightening. She then kept running on quite well, making ground for second.
Misty Waters went to the front, led until half-way down the straight and fought on well for a sound third.
