Rageese

The Queensland winter carnival is likely to be the next stop for exciting three-year-old Rageese (Street Cry), now part-owned by Windsor Park Stud, after his effortless $100,000 Listed HC Nitschke Stakes win at Morphettville.
Leading trainer Darren Weir appears to have revived another horse with huge potential, with the former Team Hawkes-trained colt maintaining his unbeaten record for Weir with a dominant victory by more than four lengths.
Coming off a soft Sandown win from a wide gate, Rageese was ridden back in the field by Brad Rawiller yesterday before putting paid to rivals in a stride on straightening for his third win from just 12 starts.
McLean said Rageese, who has raced at Listed level or better in eight of 12 starts, was thriving in his new environment away from the hustle and bustle of a metropolitan stable.
"A bit stale, maybe?'' McLean said of Rageese's form turnaround. "City life might not have been working for him.''
Rawiller said the smartly bred colt had plenty on his rivals, sweeping around the field from the back before racing away for an easy win. "He had them in two strides,'' he said.
Rageese now cements his ability as a three-year-old ahead of an upcoming tilt at the Queensland Winter Carnival.
"The Gr.2 Queensland Guineas in June I think is the plan,'' Weir's Warrnambool stable foreman Jarrod McLean said. "He's a handy addition to the stable and he looks set for some nice races.''
