Girlsarebackintown will have the responsibility of continuing her stable’s hot streak when she returns to black type company at Wanganui on Saturday.

She is trained at Cambridge by Stephen Marsh, who saddled up a winning double at Hastings last weekend with the hot three-year-old prospects Serious Satire and Sofia Rosa.

It is a run of form that was kick-started by Girlsarebackintown when she was successful at her seasonal debut at Taupo last month.

“On a dead track I didn’t think that she would be able to get over the top of them at 1200 metres, but when it got to heavy I thought she would be right in it,” Marsh said.

“Even so, she did surprise me with the way she won – it was a pretty tidy field that day.”

Marsh is therefore unconcerned about the heavily rain-affected going that will be in play for Saturday’s Listed O’Leary’s Fillies’ Stakes.

“She’s never minded it and she’s gone the right way since Taupo,” he said. “The one at the top, Secret Spirit, looks the one to beat. She’s got a bright future.”

Girlsarebackintown was only once out of the money in five appearances as a two-year-old and earned black type credits with her third placings in the Gr.3 Phoenix Park Classic and the Listed Great Northern Foal Stakes.

“After this race we might possibly head to the Bonecrusher Stakes on the 26th of September and maybe the Soliloquy Stakes on the 24th of October,” Marsh said.

“If she keeps improving then she might even get down to Riccarton for the 1000 Guineas. She’s nominated and she’s already been placed at a mile so that’s not going to worry her.”
