Outstanding three-year-old filly Water Lou maintained her excellent form when she coasted to an effortless win in the $21,000 Catalano Truck And Equipment Pace at Gloucester Park on Friday night.
The $1.10 favourite from the No. 1 barrier, Water Lou boosted her record to 15 starts for eleven wins, two seconds and stakes of $231,935, and her all-the-way victory by one length over the $13 second favourite Xceptional Arma showed she will be hard to beat in the $50,000 final of the APG WA Gold Bullion next Friday week.
She will contest the second qualifying heat of the Gold Bullion at Gloucester Park on Tuesday night.
Water Lou’s victory completed a treble for astute trainer Mike Reed and star reinsman Shannon Suvaljko, who had combined earlier in the night with wins with Hoppys Way and Mister Linton.
“Shannon didn’t even pull the plugs tonight,” said Reed. “Water Lou is very laid back now, which is good.”
