A fast finishing third on debut over 1200m a fortnight ago saw Bella Amante (Pins – Bellabaci by Zabeel) start a short priced favourite for her 1280m assignment at Canberra on Friday and the LA bred mare gave her supporters little cause of concern as she produced an impressive turn of foot at the 200m to win comfortably.
A grand- daughter of the farms wonderful matron Sound Lover, Bella Amante was purchased by her trainer Joseph Ibel from our 2015 Inglis Sydney Easter Sale draft. Her half sister by Stratum, Bellabaci’s third live foal, was a $220,000 purchase by the China Horse Club from our Karaka Premier Sale draft earlier this year.
