Impressive Debut Win for Blueblood Pierro Filly

A $60,000 Super Maiden (1200m) at Wyong on Saturday was chosen as the starting point for the John O’Shea and Tom Charlton trained filly Candlewick (3f Pierro x Pinocchio, by Encosta de Lago) and she duly obliged with a comprehensive win.

Sent out favourite after showing good ability in her three previous trials, she gave Andrew Adkins and easy steer, settling off the pace and then powering to the line to win by two and a half lengths.

A half-sister to Everest winner Classique Legend and HK Group II winner Aethero being the fifth winner from five foals to race from top producer Pinocchio, a full sister to Champion Miler and five time Group I winner Racing to Win.
