Coldplay hit the perfect note when she resumed at Ellerslie thon Saturday. The daughter of Savabeel returned from a seven month break to defeat a competitive field of Rating 75 sprinters in the hands of Vinnie Colgan, who sported the WS colours.

Coldplay is a half-sister to the multiple winner Cold Snap (Pins) with their dam the O’Reilly mare Forty Two Below. She is a sister to the Group Two winner The Big Chill.
