Pina Sonata (Pinatubo x Moonlight Sonata, by Galileo) produced an impressive performance at Doncaster on Saturday to land the Gr.3 Japan Racing Association Sceptre Fillies’ Stakes.
Taking on a competitive field of 19 fillies and mares, the four-year-old travelled strongly through the race before making smooth headway approaching the final two furlongs. She struck the front over a furlong from home and stayed on strongly to score by 1½ lengths.
The victory marks a first success at Group level for Pina Sonata, adding to her black-type credentials following her victory in the Listed Snowdrop Fillies’ Stakes at Kempton earlier this season.
