Cover Girl chases win at final run

GROUP 1-winning mare Miss Cover Girl is primed to finish her career on a high in the Group 3 Glenlogan Park Stakes (1300m) at Eagle Farm on Saturday.

Miss Cover Girl has won eight of her 31 starts and $847,900 prizemoney with her biggest win coming in the Group 1 Tatt’s Tiara at Eagle Farm last June.

The five-year-old daughter of Monashee Mountain is headed to the Magic Millions National Sale on the Gold Coast next Tuesday to be sold as a broodmare.

She has had one run this campaign, finishing third in the Group 2 Victory Stakes at Eagle Farm two weeks ago.

Trainer Kelly Schweida has kept her ticking over with a trial at Doomben last week in which she finished fifth.

“It was a blanket finish and she was about half a length from the winner,” Schweida said.

“She is a five-year-old mare now and the time is right to send her to stud.

“It would be lovely to send her out a winner. No matter what happens she will be worth a bit as a broodmare.

“There aren’t many Group 1-winning mares around for sale so I am sure she will bring in the high six figures or even seven figures.” 1280m 4.35
