A Queensland campaign could be on the cards for Charms Star (NZ) (Per Incanto) after her runner-up effort in the Gr.1 New Zealand Oaks (2400m) at Trentham on Saturday.
The Per Incanto filly finished a length in arrears of race victor Amarelinha and trainer Lisa Latta was pleased with the result.
“She had every chance and it was a great run,” Latta said.
“We set her for the race and we were rapt to get that Group One black-type with her.
“She has come through Saturday pretty well. She is a little bit jaded, but she looks a lot brighter this morning.”
Latta is contemplating targeting the Gr.1 Queensland Oaks (2400m) at Eagle Farm on June 5, however, she said she will make that decision once her filly returns from a few weeks in the paddock.
“We will put her out for three weeks and then get her back in a make a decision from there,” she said.
“There is the Queensland Oaks, but I just don’t want to make any definitive decisions yet.”
