Well-fancied when unplaced in the Gimcrack Stakes in September, the Rubick filly Erno’s Cube made no mistake at start two when defeating a good-looking field of youngsters in Saturday’s Max Lees Classic (900m) at Newcastle.

Ridden by Jason Collett for Ciaron Maher and David Eustace, Erno’s Cube tracked the early speed set by Efharisto and Market Magic. After levelling up at the 100m, the Rubick filly drew clear to defeat the Blue Point (IRE) filly Efharisto by two and a quarter lengths with a head back to stablemate Gram (Exceed and Excel), which came from last to finish third.
Ciaron Maher Bloodstock purchased Erno’s Cube for $230,000 from the Edinglassie Thoroughbred draft at the 2023 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale.

Assistant trainer Johann Gerard-Dubord said the Calaway Gal Stakes, followed by the Magic Millions 2yo Classic, is the likely path Erno’s Cube will take.
Jason Collett said the winner had taken quite a bit from a recent barrier trial.
“The barrier assisted us. She had a trial after disappointing in the Gimcrack. She did things right in the trial and replicated that today,” Collett said.

Bred by Daleigh Park Livestock, Erno’s Cube is the second winner from three to race for the unraced Stratum mare Long Wink, a sister to the Listed MRC Debutant Stakes winner Eramor, and to the dam of the multiple stakes-winners Emerald kingdom and Steel Frost.
A daughter of the Listed Dark Jewel Classic winner Romare (Marscay), Long Wink has suffered misfortune in the last two seasons, with her North Pacific foal dying after birth in 2021 and missing last spring.

The $100,000 Super Maiden for three year-olds at Randwick over 1300m on Wednesday produced an eye-catching last to first winner for leading Victorian sire Toronado (IRE) with Sly Boots arriving on the line for a valuable victory.
Trained by Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott, Sly Boots was placed in two of three starts earlier this year, but was gelded ahead of this preparation and that may prove a good decision. Tuned up with a couple of recent trials, Sly Boots was well fancied and ran accordingly unleashing a big finish from last on the turn for Regan Bayliss to win by three-quarters of a length running away.
A powerful bay gelding, with a good turn of foot he is reminiscent of Toronado’s G1 sprinter Masked Crusader, who has won over $4million in prizemoney.

Sly Boots was a $375,000 Magic Millions purchase.
A $375,000 Magic Millions purchase from the Newhaven Park draft for Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott/Kestrel Thoroughbreds, Sly Boots is the first winner for good metro winning bel Esprit mare Miss Softhands, a half-sister to stakes-placed Kazio and to the dam of Group III winner Hellova Street and stakes-winner Streetwise Savoire.
Miss Softhands has a yearling colt by Toronado (IRE) and was covered last spring by Russian Camelot (IRE).

Trainer Matt Cumani will search for some black-type at the Flemington Carnival for Manchego after the son of Toronado (IRE) made a winning career debut over 1200m at Ballarat on Monday.

Ridden by Declan Bates, Manchego was hung up on the fence halfway down the straight but did not flinch when the gap appeared to deny The Autumn Sun filly Alectrona by a half-neck with the Written Tycoon colt Fury a length back in third.
Cumani said they arrived with the expectation of a forward showing.

“It’s always a relief when there’s a bit of talk about them, and everyone at the track here for the last week has said you have a good one there,” Cuumani said.
“You wonder how it gets out; although his trial form has been impressive, he had every right to come here and do something good.
“He saved a bit of ground on the rails. It was a brilliant ride by Declan; I was worried the gap might not open up.
“I think he has the right sought of brain for it. He is tough, with a big action and uses it well. It’s difficult to know at their first start, so it was good to see him do it.

“I would like to give him a couple more races. There is a 1400m during Melbourne Cup week and we will try and aim for that.
“I think this was a good maiden, it’s a bit difficult to know; we will see in hindsight.”
Bred by Ken Breese, Manchego was a $95,000 purchase for Cumani Racing from the Armidale Stud draft at the 2022 Magic Millions Tasmanian Yearling Sale.

Matthew Williams Racing/ Sheamus Mills Bloodstock (FBAA) shelled out $160,000 for a brother to Manchego from the Armidale Stud draft at the 2023 Magic Millions Adelaide Yearling Sale.
Dream Food has a yearling filly by Ghaiyyath (IRE).
