Scoring a stylish debut victory at Ipswich on Wednesday was Sizzling gelding The Fire Trap, who was sent out favourite and duly delivered.
Trained by Matthew Dunn, The Fire Trap raced up on the pace and stuck to his guns to forge clear and win the 1100 metre maiden by a length.
An $80,000 Magic Millions Gold Coast March Yearling Sale purchase from the Lyndhurst Farm draft for his trainer and Neil Jenkinson, The Fire Trap is the first winner for Rasteira, a well related Flying Spur mare from the family of Group winning fillies Tulip, Musidora and Sacred Eye.
He is the sixth winner for his young Newgate Farm based sire, who is knocking on the door of his first stakes-winner with four Black Type horses on the board including Sizzling Ace, who was a good third last Saturday in the Group II BRC Sires Produce Stakes.
A Group I winning son of champion sire Snitzel, Sizzling stands at Newgate this spring at a fee of $16,500.
