Deep Field has been in the news this week for his popularity at the NZB Ready to Run Sale and was in the winner’s circle at Sunshine Coast on Saturday with his first two year old winner of the new season in Rose of Shiraz.

Trained by Gillian Heinrich, Rose of Shiraz was easy in the market but led all the way from barrier one to score a tenacious short head win over I Am Invincible colt Invinovich.

Shiraz Attack is a grand-daughter of Group III winner Simply Believe, the family also producing Group winners So Si Bon, Faith Hill and Global Exchange.
