Two year-old filly Jolie Rose made light work of her rivals in the opening race of the day at Murray Bridge breaking through for her first career win in the Sambec Sheds/SaiboisTwo-Year-Old Benchmark64 (1200m).
Stepping up to 1200m for the first time in her career Jolie Rose and Damien Thornton where able to control the tempo of the race leading throughout. Approaching the straight the filly sprinted away from her opposition to win by five and a half lengths.

Purchased from the 2016 Inglis Classic Sale for $20,000, Jolie Rose has already proved to be a bargain buy for connections becoming the eighth two-year-old winner for stallion Your Song.
