Isotope, potentially one of the most exciting three-year-olds in the country, could give the top Queensland trainer Tony Gollan another Group success in Sydney when she tackles the Group 2 Arrowfield Three-Year-old Sprint.

The daughter of Deep Field boasts a career record of five wins and two runner-up finishes from only nine starts. In one of those unplaced runs (in the Magic Millions Three-Year-Old Guineas) she lost the rider, so her only ‘failure’ to date was when finishing five lengths behind Rothfire in the Group 1 J J Atkins during last year’s Queensland Winter Carnival.

All five of Isotopes wins have bene particularly impressive … not least when she won her Maiden on debut by a whopping ten length margin to announce her arrival on the racing scene in no uncertain terms.

Isotope won her second start as well, this time by a more modest 2.30 lengths. She then stepped up to Group 2 company and got within 1.30 lengths of the very smart Rothfire, when finishing in second spot in the Champagne Classic, before turning that well below par performance in the J J Atkins.

She was then spelled for five months and came back as a beaten favourite (in second spot) before being freshened up for a campaign which targeted the Magic Millions as her Grand Final.

Isotope won two races in the lead-up to the big Magic Millions day. Firstly, she romped in by three lengths in the Listed Mode Plate and then scored a quite spectacular victory in the Listed Gold Edition, flying from well back to snare the more than useful Away Game in the very last stride.

So, all was set for the Magic Millions Three-Year-Old Guineas.

Speaking after the Guineas, jockey Ryan Maloney said he was certain he was going to win the race but we will never know as Isotope clipped heels turning into the home straight, dislodging Maloney from the saddle and any hope of Magic Millions glory crashed to the ground with Maloney in that moment.

Two months later Isotope returned to action in the Listed Darby Munro at Rosehill where, to everybody’s relief, she showed she bore no scars, either mentally or physically, from her Magic Millions mishap as she stormed home under a perfect ride from Maloney to get back into the winners’ enclosure and get the confidence back on a high.

Isotope faces plenty of talented opposition this time around.

Aim was the horse that won the Magic Millions Three-Year-Old Guineas and Aim has Wild Ruler, the Group 2 Roman Consul winner, as a stable back up. Prague finished a close-up fourth in the Group 1 Newmarket. Rocketing By will be bidding for four in a row. He won the Inglis Sprint at his last start. Wisdom Of Water seldom runs a bad race. Amish Boy finished third in the Group 1 Newmarket. The Face has finished in the first two in his last four starts. September Run is a Group 1 Coolmore Stud Stakes winner. Dame Giselle finished third in the same race.

So there is much to look forward to.

It should be a cracker of race.
