Entertains' Sights Set On Sunline

Time/Date - 21.15hrs local time/Friday, March 27, 2015 Racecourse/Country - Moonee Valley/Australia Surface/Distance - Turf/1m

Entertains drops back to a mile for the Group Two William Hill Sunline Stakes at Moonee Valley, Australia, on Friday, March 27.

The four-year-old Street Cry filly, trained by John O'Shea, came home eighth after early interference in the Group Three Hertz Epona Stakes over nine and a half furlongs at Rosehill Gardens on March 21.

She finished strongly when beaten a head in the mile Group Three Aspiration Quality at Royal Randwick on March 7, and gained three wins during the first half of this season, headed by a cosy success in a nine-furlong handicap at Randwick-Kensington in October.

John O'Shea said: "Entertains has drawn a little awkwardly in gate nine, so will be ridden conservatively, but she is fit, well and happy, plus her form over the mile is excellent.

"I would like to see her get back and hit the line. Hopefully, she will gain more black type."

Entertains, ridden by Tommy Berry for the first time, faces nine rivals including Group Three scorers Noble Protector and Star Fashion plus Group Two runner-up Marianne.
