Miss Octopussy put in an honest run for third while Valentine Miss ran on well for fourth.

Graceful Anna is set to make a return to racing after a six month spell due to a strained suspensory ligament in the near hind leg.

David Pfieffer, Graceful Anna’s trainer, is convinced of his horses ability to perform after winning her barrier trial at Rosehill on January 4, 2011.

”I will use this race as a guide with her but I think she will be well suited in those black-type mares’ races.

”There is a good program of them, and if she shows she is up to it, I think the Robert Sangster Stakes in Adelaide, being a group 1, would be a good target,” Mr Pfieffer said.

Tom Hugh’s four-year-old mare Miss Octopussy is also being aimed at the 2011 Robert Sangster Stakes.

“She’s entitled to have a go at the Robert Sangster,” Mr Hugh said.

“She’ll be the fresh horse on the scene as she’s had four runs in four months.”

Betting options will be available closer to the nomination date at Luxbet.

As the seventh race of the day, the filly took out the 18-horse field from the 15^th barrier, winning by three-quarters of a length.

Finishing second was the favourite going into the race – Velocitea. The Mick Price-trained mare beat Sister Madly, who took third spot, by a long neck.

Elsewhere in the field for the Robert Sangster Stakes, other favourites for the race were Headway and Majestic Music, the two finished 14^th and 10^th respectively.

Next on Rostova’s agenda is mostly likely going to be the Group 1 The Galaxy (1100m) on the 17^th of April in the Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival.

Also taking place on Saturday at the Morphettville Racecourse was the Group 1 Schweppes Australasian Oaks (2000m) and the Group 3 Jansz National Stakes (1200m).

2010 Robert Sangster Stakes Results

While the Group 1 Schweppes Oaks (2000m) may headline the day’s proceedings, the Robert Sangster Stakes will certainly provide an exciting race, as 20 fillies and mares compete for the $300,000 prize money.

Going into Saturday’s race, it seems Velocitea, trained by Mick Price is the horse to beat at $5.50. The four-year-old mare, starting from the fourth barrier, has won all of her previous three starts – one of which she beat fellow Robert Sangster Stakes starter Valentine Miss.

Close in the odds behind Velocitea is Headway at $6. With a wider start from the 12^th barrier, the Peter Moody-trained filly has not placed in her last three starts, and looks to have relatively high odds.

Going into Saturday’s race, it seems Velocitea, trained by Mick Price is the horse to beat at $5.50.

Rounding out the odds for the top three is Majestic Music at $7.

The filly recently won the Group 2 Yallambee Classic (1200m) at the same track over the same distance as the Robert Sangster Stakes, where she beat fellow starter and strong contender for Saturday’s race Sister Madly, and would provide a substantial reward if she wins on Saturday.

Sister Madly is starting from the second barrier at $8.

Closing the odds for the Robert Sangster Stakes is Falvelon’s Dream at $201. While the five-year-old mare may have seemingly impossible odds, she has placed in two of her last three starts, and would certainly bring back a handsome win if she succeeded in Adelaide.

Also taking place on Saturday will be the Group 1 Schweppes Australasian Oaks (2000m) and the Group 3 The Jansz National Stakes (1200m).

Also known as the Sportingbet Classic, the Robert Sangster Stakes will be the seventh race of the day, kicking off just before 5pm with a large 20-horse line up.

The fillies and mares will compete over the 1,200 metres for a share in the $300,000 on offer.

Drawing the inside barrier is Cerberus Gal who came third in the Group 3 RN Irwin Stakes (1100m) in March.

Majestic Music is a strong contender and will start on Saturday in the middle 10^th barrier.

Starting out wide will be the Gordon Richards-trained Jaalippy and with such a large field will certainly feel the wrath of the wide draw. The four-year-old mare finished second in the Listed Matrice Stakes (1200m) and will need to draw on her experience to succeed in the Robert Sangster Stakes.

Majestic Music is a strong contender after winning the Group 2 Yallambee Classic (1200m) and will start on Saturday in the middle 10^th barrier. The three-year-old filly beat the Anthony Cummings-trained Sister Madly, the filly took the runners up spot, and is starting the Robert Sangster Stakes from the second barrier.

Also taking place at the Morphettville Racecourse on Saturday will be the Group 1 Schweppes Australasian Oaks (2000m) and the Group 3 The Jansz National Stakes (1200m).

Drawing some of South Australia’s top fillies and mares to the Morphettville Racecourse, the race will see the starters compete under weight-for-age conditions over 1,200 metres, all hoping to get a share in the $300,000 prize money.

Currently there are 30 nominations for the Sportingbet Classic all of which seem set to provide a top class line up on the 20th of March.

One mare to certainly keep an eye on is the local four-year-old Augusta Proud. Winner of the Group 3 RN Irwin Stakes (1100m) on the 8th of March at the Morphettville Racecourse, and beating Cerberus Gal who finished in third, Augusta Proud is a favourite going into the Sportingbet Classic.

Trained by Leon McDonald and Andrew Gluyas, Augusta Proud is just one entrant the duos have for the Sportingbet Classic, with Impressive Eagle and Majestic Music making up the three nominations.

2010 Sportingbet Classic Nominations

The Group 1 race, held on Saturday the 20^th of March,  is a fillies and mares, weight-for-age event over 1,200 metres and sees some of the country’s top competitors vying for a slice of the $300,000 purse.

The 2010 Robert Sangster Stakes seems set to be host to the Mick Price-trained Velocitea. The four-year-old would certainly be a strong contender having won the Hyderabad Race Club Stakes in February.

There has also been talk about the three-year-old Black Caviar competing in the 2010 Robert Sangster Stakes. While there is a possibility the Peter Moody-trained filly may head overseas at some point this season, if she were to start in the Robert Sangster Stakes, she could be a favourite as her last three starts have all resulted in wins.

While the 2010 Robert Sangster Stakes will headline the proceedings at the Morphettville Racecourse in Adelaide on the 20^th of March, the Group 1 Australasian Oaks (2000m) and the Group 3 The Jansz National Stakes (1200m) are two other notable races to take place.
