She’s Licketysplit slick in Melbourne warm-up

New Zealand filly She’s Licketysplit showed she will be a force in the One Thousand Guineas (1600m), at Caulfield on October 12, with a strong wn in the $326,000 Edward Manifold Stakes (1600m), at Flemington yesterday. Given an economical trip just behind the speed by rider Damian Lane, the daughter of Turn Me Loose, trained by Andrew Forsman, was too strong. Meanwhile, yesterday’s Hawke’s Bay meeting was abandoned after torrential rain overnight saw the Hastings track flooded.
