Dean Mirfin and Wanda Ings debutants among six Bathurst-trained runners at Orange meeting

Bathurst's Dean Mirfin and Wanda Ings will have that experience this Friday at Orange when their unraced three-year-olds enter the On Trac Ag 3YO And Up Maiden Showcase Handicap (1,000 metres).

Mirfin's gelding Supergaze, by Queen Elizabeth II Stakes champion Excelebration, was a picture of composure in his recent trail where he ran fourth behind last-start winner What The Fuss.

The diminutive bay has needed plenty of time to get himself into top racing condition - and may need more months yet - but Mirfin has been encouraged by both the runner's trackwork and his trial.

"He trialled nicely. He's still immature and probably six months away from fully flourishing, he's still a bit small, but he's potentially a nice horse in the making," he said.

"Most of them in the race are a little bit more advanced than he is at this stage. He's a very lightly framed horse and not much to look and when he first arrived we didn't think too much of him, but he's got a lovely galloping action and he works really nicely.

"I have the feeling when he's a four or five-year-old he'll turn into a really nice horse."

Mirfin believes patience will be a virtue with Supergaze, another member of Ross Williams' Superhorse syndicate runners.

"He's by Excelebration and I believe that breed usually require a bit of time," he said.

"He's a nice horse and we're expecting him to run well and be competitive, but whatever he does we know that he'll be able to improve upon it.

"I've got a couple of Ross' horses in work at the moment and I've got a filly who is a half sister to the derby winner."

Ings fields a Sizzling filly, Ardstraw, in the race.

Ardstraw wasn't asked to do much in her one and only trial, where she ran sixth.

The wide draw is going to present a challenge for jockey Chelsea Ings over the sprint distance.

The Bathurst-trained pair are among eight debut runners.

Six Bathurst-trained runners will be taking to the Towac Park turf this Friday from 12.50pm.
