Lux Libertas was a stylish maiden winner at Te Rapa last month and she handled a rise in class with aplomb on her return to the Hamilton course.The daughter of Almanzor was successful first-up following a spell and she quickly followed up with a demolition of her Rating 65 rivals over 1200 metres.“She had gone the right way since her last win, her work had showed she hadn’t gone backwards,” said Andrew Scott, who trains the four-year-old with Lance O’Sullivan.Lux Libertas settled second last before improving across the top and she finished powerfully wide out on the track to score with plenty of authority.She has been ridden in her last two appearances by champion jockey Warren Kennedy, who is confident she can make her mark in black type company.Lux Libertas was bred by Graham and Helen-Gaye Bax, whose daughter Kylie manages the interest of part-owner Goldeye Trust, with JML Bloodstock.She is out of the late stakes-performed Makfi mare Miss Fi, who was a half-sister to the dual Listed winner Peaceful.

Lindsay Park’s Rise At Dawn continued his golden run of winter form with another dominant winning performance at Flemington.The dependable son of Almanzor was a first-up winner on the track in June and then posted a pair of runner-up finishes before he again went one better over 1620 metres.Rise At Dawn has now won five of his 10 starts and more than A$360,000.“He is building a lovely record, he’s so consistent and did well at the farm with the month between runs,” said JD Hayes, who trains the four-year-old with brothers Ben and Will.Rise At Dawn was quickly into stride from the outside gate to cross the field and take up the running in the hands of Daniel Stackhouse.The chestnut surged clear 400 metres from and stayed on strongly to win with authority.“He was well rated in front and gave a good kick,” Hayes said.“He’s absolutely thriving, he’s doing a terrific job and he’s got more wins in store.”Rise At Dawn was bred by Monovale Holdings and was a A$90,000 Inglis Melbourne Premier Yearling Sale graduate.He is an older brother of the Group performer Kay’s Ruebe with their dam the Listed Newmarket Handicap winner and multiple Group 1 placegetter Kay’s Awake.
