Reluctantlycharmed impresses at Flemington

Reluctantlycharmed made it 3 wins from her last 4 starts with an eye-catching burst of speed from the 200m to the 100m to claim victory in the Be A Mate, Nominate Trophy  at Flemington over 1100m.

The three-year-old filly was a $7.50 chance and delivered an impressive performance under jockey Craig Williams. She crossed the line a long neck ahead of Actuality ($12), with Manolo Bling ($4.20 favorite) finishing in third.

Begg praised the filly’s performance, noting that she had improved from her last start at 1200 meters, where she had been ridden too close to the lead. He believes Reluctantlycharmed performs best on firmer tracks, despite her maiden win at Geelong coming on heavy ground. Following this win, Begg mentioned the possibility of targeting the Group 3 Peter Le Grand at Caulfield in a few weeks.

Craig Williams, riding the filly for the first time, was impressed by her ability and potential, highlighting her scope for further improvement.

The filly’s impressive win and the upcoming stakes race hint at a promising future, and it will be exciting to see how she progresses in the coming weeks.
