Showcasing filly Intrigue provided her connections with plenty to think about when she dominated her three-year-old rivals when scoring over 2100m in the second race of the day.

The Tony Pike-trained runner had looked promising when breaking her maiden status over 1600m at Te Aroha last start and franked that form with a slick home-straight sprint to race to an easy three-length victory.

Stable representative Dean Williams admitted there had been plenty of confidence in the camp as he revealed the filly could be headed to Brisbane for the Queensland Winter Carnival.

“She’s progressed well since her last win and we were pretty confident with her coming into today,” Williams said.

“The step up to 2100m suited as well.

“With that, if she comes through it well, she might end up in Brisbane.

“She’s a really laid-back filly who takes a bit of winding up. When she jumps, she can be a bit slow away and do things wrong, but we think she is a very handy filly.”

“We are hoping to take a few over to Brisbane and she could be an Oaks (Gr.1 2400m) contender.”

Intrigue races in the colours of part-owner Mark Wyborn who was successful in the 2016 Gr.1 Queensland Oaks (2400m) with the Pike-trained Zabeel filly, Provocative.
