Flamingo will be back in stakes company next time out following her success at Awapuni on Friday.
The talented Pins mare won the Hotel Coachman Handicap (1400m) to confirm a tilt at a Group Two feature.
“In two weeks’ time we’re looking at the Easter Handicap for her,” said Emma Haworth, who trains the Waikato Stud-bred and owned four-year-old with her father David.
“It all worked out nicely for her today. She got in a beautiful position and came down the outside.”
Flamingo, who was ridden by Rosie Myers, has now won two of her last three starts and was an unlucky third in the Gr.3 Cuddle Stakes (1600m) at Trentham.
