GIN TWIST ALL THE WAY IN REDOUTE’S CHOICE STAKES

Talented filly Gin Twist (2f Home Affairs x Twist Tops) continued her excellent juvenile campaign with a commanding victory in the Listed Redoute’s Choice Stakes at Caulfield on Saturday, confirming her status as one of the season’s most exciting two-year-old fillies.

Confidently ridden by Luke Currie, Gin Twist led from the outset and proved too strong in the straight, fending off her challengers to secure her second stakes win as a two-year-old in her first racing preparation. She finished ahead of Oak Lightning, with Buggsy further back in third, after dictating the tempo in what was a composed, all-the-way performance.

The victory carried added significance given pre-race questions surrounding her ability to see out a strong 1200 metres. Having previously showcased her speed over shorter distances, Gin Twist answered those doubts, displaying enough stamina and professionalism to handle the trip.

Now a dual Listed winner, Gin Twist is shaping as a filly of considerable upside. She has certainly earned a well-deserved spell, and her supporters will look forward to her return for the three-year-old sprint races in the Spring.

Congratulations to all connections, with special thanks to the entire team at Lindsay Park Racing and to Luke Currie, who maintains a perfect record aboard the filly with two stakes wins from as many rides.
