GRAZIE MILLE BELLA is the NZ bred daughter of G1 winner and producer RIP VAN WINKLE from the THORN PARK mare TEKEELA a full sister to Group 2 winner LA ETOILE.

She has 1 win and 3 placings from 1000m to 1200m including a 3rd to multiple Saturday Metro winner ZOFONIC DANCER.

Grazie Mille Bella won her maiden 2 starts back with ease, pricking her ears on the line and enjoyed taking a sit in 3rd off a good tempo over 1200m and clearly looks best from 1000m to 1200m.

First up this prep she ran a great 2nd over 1000m racing on the speed and kicked clear after rounding the home turn but was nabbed on the line with first and second spacing the rest of the field. In this run she defeated HELFUCHI by 5.7 lengths who has since won twice and started favorite at Doomben against quality such as SISTER ACT.

She also ran a good 2nd over 1200m to the talented Hinchinbrook mare HEARTS LIFTED after being hampered in the straight before pushing into the clear.

She has had a spell and is now ready to come back into work!
