Trained by Joseph Pride, Adorabeel has won six of her 25 starts and placed in a further eight races. She began her racing career as a three-year-old, now a five-year-old, and has raced up to a mile with this her first try at stakes level.
"She has just been a slow maturing mare," commented Pride. "I have only inherited her recently but I have been more than happy with her progress. She is really starting to mature and turn into a good class mare.
"I would like to head towards the Epona in a couple of weeks' time at Rosehill. It is a 1900m race which will be ideal to get her up over a little bit further."

Faust (NZ) Finds Favour in Canberra Cup
Kiwi stayer Faust (NZ) (Librettist) achieved his first win in a black-type race in the Listed A$200,000 TAB.COM.AU Canberra Cup (2000m) yesterday at Canberra Racing Club.
The five-year-old gelding had his first two race starts in New Zealand with trainers Tony Pike and Mark Donoghue. His New Zealand stint saw him finish second and third over 1200m as a two-year-old before transferring to Australia, breaking his maiden status fresh-up for former trainer Danny Williams.
After a number of starts, including three wins, Kurt Goldman took over Faust’s training in February last year and has recorded another three wins, including his first stakes victory.
“It was a great performance,” commented Goldman. “It was a tough win especially coming from the races he has been competing in recently."
