Jolly good double, Tootell gets metro win
The Richard and Chantelle Jolly stable could chase some black type with talented filly Out Of Square who made it four wins from her past five starts with an impressive victory at Murray Bridge on Saturday.
Out Of Square has gone from winning a maiden at Oakbank to a three-time city winner in the space of two months, Saturday's win her most impressive to date where she defeated Tripod Terror by 2.14 lengths."She's been a bit of a surprise packet really,'' Chantelle Jolly said post-race.
"At home she doesn't really show much but she comes race day and really switches on.
"She's had a great prep,'' she said.
Jolly said there was a Racing Rewards option in the coming week's while the daughter of Hellbent has earnt an opportunity to be tried at a higher level.
"There is a Rewards race in three weeks so she'll go there and after that we might give her a freshen up and look at something like the Lightning (Stakes),'' Jolly added.
"We'll take it one run at a time but that would be the goal,'' she said.
Out Of Square was the first leg of a training double for the stable after Great Maximus proved superior for his rivals with Manoel Nunes in the saddle and Richard Jolly said the horse could find his way to their Melbourne satellite stable.
"He's another horse who can probably feature over the border in the coming months,'' Jolly said.
"He's a pretty talented horse.
"He got in well at the weights, but good to get him back winning,'' he said.
