The Anthony Cummings-trained Satin Rain has been on an upward trajectory since making her debut at Warwick farm back on June 12.
Following a fifth at Newcastle the daughter of Wandjina finished second at Warwick Farm at her most recent start, which assured her of short-riced favouritism for a 1600m maiden at Goulburn on Monday where she was the only 2yo among six 3yo’s and a 4yo.
After taking an early lead, Satin Rain was taken on by Neanderthal and Travis Wolfgram elected to take a trail on the favourite.
She disposed of Neanderthal then safely held the challenge of Dip Me Lid by a half-length.
The striking chestnut was consigned by Ambergate Farm to the 2018 Magic Millions Adelaide Yearling Sale where she passed in shy of her reserve.
She is the third foal of the Sandown winner Slippery Satin, a half-sister to the grand performer, Group 1 WATC Railway Stakes winner, Great Shot and the Listed winner Gawne, Slippery Satin is a granddaughter of the Group 1 STC Orlando Wines Classic winner Satin Sand.
Satin Rain becomes the 8th first crop winner for Newgate Farm’s Group 1 VRC Australian Guineas winner Wandjina, who stands this spring at a fee of $22,000.
