A strong case can be made for strapping Almanzor mare Lux Libertas to be unbeaten this preparation.The four-year-old won four on the bounce before she finished third at Te Rapa last month after an interrupted passage.The Lance O’Sullivan and Andrew Scott-trained mare was sent out a commanding favourite on her return to the Hamilton course and normal business was resumed.She romped home over 1400 metres to make it five career victories from eight appearances.Lux Libertas drifted well back in the running and was still back on the turn before she lengthened stride impressively to reel in her rivals and again impressed regular rider Warren Kennedy, who believes the best is yet to come.“She’s continuing to learn her craft every time she steps out,” he said.“She cruised up and burst through then and then pricked her ears, even though she’s not the finished product just yet.”Lux Libertas was bred by Graham and Helen-Gaye Bax, whose daughter Kylie manages the interest of part-owner Goldeye Trust, with Lib Petagna.“She’s a big girl and always looks beautiful,” Kylie Bax said.“Lance and Andrew have done a wonderful job with her and I do think she will go over more ground.”Lux Libertas is a daughter of the late stakes-performed Makfi mare Miss Fi, who was a half-sister to the dual Listed winner Peaceful.

Almanzor four-year-old Settat turned his fortunes around with a dashing performance at Hamilton.Our homebred had been under par in his previous two outings but bounced back in style for trainers Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young with a cracking effort over 1400 metres.Settat settled back of midfield away from the fence and once into the clear at the top of the straight, he thundered home in the hands of Linda Meech to win for the second time in eight appearances.He was purchased out of our weanling draft at Karaka for $42,000 by John Corcoran and was then sold by Grangewilliam Stud at the Ready to Run Sale for $220,000 to Busuttin Racing and Andrew Campbell Bloodstock.He is a son of the Fastnet Rock mare Sure Enough and we sold Settat’s sister to Queensland’s KPW Bloodstock at Karaka earlier this year for $150,000.The dam has since produced a filly and a colt by Reliable Man and is due to foal to U S Navy Flag.

Keeneland boosted his Classic prospects when he produced a strong performance to triumph in the Listed Super Impose Plate over 1800 metres at Flemington.He is a son of Almanzor and will next month bid to give our resident sire a second victory in the G1 VRC Derby following the win in 2022 of Manzoice.Trained by Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young, Keeneland broke his maiden at Benalla at his third appearance late last month and he bridged the gap to stakes company with aplomb.“We just ticked him over at home and he’s got a good constitution,” Young said.“He was in great order and won really well, we’ve got a nice Derby contender going forward.”Rider John Allen had Keeneland travelling sweetly in second spot and, after striding to the 350 metres from home, he stayed on strongly to win by a length and a-quarter.“We had a nice run in behind the speed and he’s just improved with every run,” Allen said.“He’s got a good attitude and a clean-winded horse who appreciated the step up to 1800 metres so he’s heading in the right direction.”Bred by Kinsale Bloodstock, Keeneland was bought out of Kiltannon Stables draft at New Zealand Bloodstock’s National Yearling Sale for $85,000 by Busuttin, Andrew Campbell Bloodstock and Tommy Heptinstall.He is a half-brother to six winners with their dam the Savabeel mare Savabeel Star, a half-sister to the G3 Hawke’s Bay Guineas winner Stardane.
