Last years top 2yo Stravinsky filly Italia, provided her new owners Ultra Thoroughbreds, a valuable placing in the Group 3 Highview Stakes, at Hawkes Bay on Saturday. The Highview is often a good guide to the 1000 Guineas, and the 2006 running looks to be no different. The 3yo filly will chase more black type in NZ, before her transfer to Australia.
