Description

Covert Witness is a Racing and Breeding prospect.

A lightly raced three-year-old Covert Witness has had only the four race starts.

Her last start was on the 15th of May at Tamworth where she made good ground late to

finish 5th of 11, beaten just 3.4 lengths.

The start prior on the 26th of April she was 4th of 8 at Kembla Grange beaten 4.9 lengths

from the winner.

Covert Witness is still maturing and has the potential to win a maiden in the near future

before racing through her classes.

She has returned to a small grass yard since her last start on the 15th of May and is sound

for racing.

Covert Witness is a daughter of Star Witness, sire of 23 individual stakes winners including

Stakes winners Global Glamour, Graff, Star Turn, Swift Witness, etc.

Her dam Anfitriona was a five-time winner of over $250,000 in prizemoney. She won the

MRC VOBIS Gold Heath at Caulfield as well as metropolitan wins at Sandown and Moonee

Valley.

Covert Witness is being offered for unreserved sale.
