Daughter of Fastnet Rock on hunt for first Metro win

After registering her maiden win at Ballarat, two-year-old Eclair Sunrise (Fastnet Rock) is city bound to chase a win at Caulfield.

Trainer Dan O'Sullivan is hoping the rain that caused the abandonment of the Stawell meeting on Tuesday can continue through until the weekend. 

Ballarat-based O'Sullivan has last start winner Eclair Sunrise entered in a two-year-old race at Caulfield on Saturday and would like a wet track for the filly. 

The Stawell meeting on Tuesday was called off after one race was run following 20mm of rain that resulted in the track being downgraded from good to heavy. 

Eclair Sunrise won her last start at Ballarat on a heavy track and O'Sullivan said the $480,000 yearling purchase was heading to Caulfield in search of a city victory. 

"It's all dependant on the weather, but it looks like she will be going," O'Sullivan said. 

"She's certainly effective on a wet track but it doesn't need to be heavy. She excelled on a wet track up here (Ballarat) and it seems a suitable sort of race for her to have a crack at this stage. 

"She galloped here this morning on the grass with a mate and worked up as well as you would hope she would do." 

Eclair Sunrise is one of the more expensive gallopers to enter O'Sullivan's stable with the trainer saying it is good to get a nicely bred juvenile into the stable. 

"Hopefully being a Fastnet Rock filly, as she gets a bit older, she can develop a bit more also," O'Sullivan said. 

"But it is good that she has won as a two-year-old. The next job is to get a city win and then hopefully some black type. 

"At this time of year, they might not be the best ones about and we know she handles a wet track." 

Will Price, who sits fourth on the Melbourne Jockeys' Premiership with 40 wins for the season, and who is apprenticed to O'Sullivan, will ride Eclair Sunrise on Saturday in the non-claiming race.
