Well-bred filly strikes for stud

The Savabeel filly Acting was successful at just her second start at Echuca.
She was unplaced on debut but made no mistake yesterday with a commanding performance to score with ease.
Trained by Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young for the Matamata farm, she is out of the Pins mare Hollywood.

It’s an outstanding family with Glamour Puss a half-sister to the dual top-flight winner Vision And Power.
Group Three winner Glam Slam and The Fatz and Singapore stakes winners Arenti and Starman also feature in the pedigree.
