Quality staying mare Positivity has booked her spot in a spring major with a determined second-up display.The Andrew Forsman-trained daughter of our resident sire Almanzor finished second when resuming in the Listed Heatherlie Handicap and went one better in the G3 Foundation Cup to seal her berth in the G1 Caulfield Cup.“That’s a pretty incredible feeling,” Forsman’s Flemington stable representative Chloe Cumming said. “She's been super in her work coming into this and she looks amazing, so to see her get it on the line is pretty incredible.“She’s come a long way since she came over in the autumn. She’s acclimatised and she’s been thriving since she’s been over here. She’s been loving it.”Positivity was given an economical run in third spot on the fence by Harry Coffey who angled the four-year-old into the clear 300 metres from home and she rounded off strongly to earn a $17 quote for the Caulfield Cup.“She’s a real scopey, lengthy type. I don't reckon she actually knows what’s going on fully yet, still a lot of raw ability there, but it’s good for her to win this race,” Coffey said.“I suppose she’s going to get into the Caulfield Cup with no weight. “I might have to get on the brown rice diet to ride her, but all you can do is win and that’s what she’s doing, so she’s going the right way.”Positivity also enjoyed a lucrative three-year-old season and won the G3 Sunline Vase and finished runner-up in the G1 New Zealand Oaks before claiming the G3 South Australian Fillies’ Classic.She was bred by Sir Patrick and Justine Lady Hogan with Peter Walker and was purchased out of Woburn Farm’s draft at Karaka by Ben Kwok for $160,000.The filly is a daughter of the stakes-winning O’Reilly mare Pussy O’Reilly, who also finished runner-up in the G1 Makfi Challenge Stakes.

Lux Libertas continued to reward the patient approach of her connections.The progressive daughter of our resident stallion Almanzor struck again at Te Rapa for trainers Lance O’Sullivan and Andrew Scott to remain unbeaten in four appearances this campaign.“She’s a big girl and has been immature so we’ve taken our time,” Scott said.“She worked through the winter well and she’s got a few ticks in a few boxes now.”The four-year-old was given a patient ride in the 1400 metre contest by regular partner Warren Kennedy and she again responded positively. Lux Libertas settled third last in the running and speared between runners in the straight with an irresistible finish.“The plan was to ride her quietly, if she hits the front too soon, she gawks around,” he said.“She won with a bit in hand and is a stakes filly.”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 is a daughter of the late stakes-performed Makfi mare Miss Fi, who was a half-sister to the dual Listed winner Peaceful.

Phillip Stokes is confident The Mansman can make his mark in a changed role this preparation.The Pakenham trainer initially believed the son of Almanzor, who produced a dashing display to win first-up over 1200 metres at Sale, would be best suited to middle distance racing. “Last prep, we thought he’s by Almanzor and a stayer, but I feel he might be best at 1200 to 1400 metres and we’ll keep him fresh,” Stokes said. “He’ll progress through to city grade.”The Mansman has performed up to 2000 metres last season and posted a frustrating five runner-up finishes from seven outings before his overdue breakthrough victory.Gelded since last racing, The Mansman settled back in the field off a wide gate at Sale before improving out wide across the top and let down strongly in the straight to reel in his rivals.“There was a bit of concern about the barrier, but he switched off and we got a cosy run into it and he went through his gears nicely,” successful rider Daniel Stackhouse said.The Mansman was offered by Sledmere Stud on behalf of breeder Waikato Stud at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale where he was sold to DGR Thoroughbred Services and Stokes for A$330,000 with the Matamata farm remaining in the ownership group.He out of the Savabeel mare Hurry, a three-quarter sister to the late multiple Group 1 winner and successful sire Sacred Falls.
