Trainer Mathew Ellerton believes Bolisimo Miss will measure up in the spring following her strong win at Flemington on Saturday.

The Bel Esprit two-year-old is the first horse Ellerton and co-trainer Simon Zahra have prepared for the filly’s owner-breeder David Strain.

“David races most of his horses with (trainer) Johnny Ledger but he sent her down from Wangaratta and she’s come a long way pretty quickly,” Ellerton said.

Ellerton said a friend of his, pre-trainer and breaker Craig Dixon who works for Strain, recommended Bolisimo Miss be sent to his Flemington stables.

Sent out at $9.50 in the Eugene Gorman Hcp (1000m) and ridden by stable apprentice Damian Lane, Bolisimo Miss was having her third race start and made it two straight wins having scored over the same trip in a two-year-old maiden at Cranbourne on June 12.

After trailing the leaders Stratumsphere and Bossdon City, Lane got Bolisimo Miss out into the clear and she finished quickly to score by 2-1/4 lengths from Delegance ($8.50) with Song Of The Bell ($3.30 fav) 1-1/2 lengths away third.

“Damian showed good poise. He waited until he got out across their heels, he didn’t panic and away she went,” Ellerton said.

“She was impressive and she’ll measure up in the spring for sure. I don’t know where but somewhere.”

The win gave Ellerton and Zahra successive two-year-old wins at Flemington meetings but Hidden Symbol, who won over 1400m on June 11, was killed in a freak paddock accident during the week.

Ellerton said he believed the Artie Schiller gelding, who had been spelled with the spring in mind, broke his neck when frolicking around with other young horses in a paddock.
