Description

LITERACY is a 3yo filly by SHALAA out of stakes placed mare READINGS. She is lightly raced with only 7 starts for a placing. She has shown good form this prep with the most recent run showing she needs a little more time to mature. She is fit and ready to race in your silks but would take great benefit out of having a nice spell.

Being sold to disolve a partnership.

She would make a great addition to a country stable who is willing to give her the time she needs.

Has no vices.

**CURRENT EMBARGO- NOT TO RACE (VET CERTIFICATE) LAME 2/5 OFF FORE LEG**

She has been in the paddock running around fine, displaying no signs of lameness. Still waiting on Vet to come out for the certificate. If you have any questions pleace contact Jeremy: 0420 666 161
