Champion two year old of last season, Avantage by Fastnet Rock, and Stakes winner, Chance to Dance, took the opportunity of an exhibition gallop between races at Hastings on Saturday last,a day that saw the powerful Te Akau racing team produce a notable winning double.

Trainer, Jamie Richards, saddled up his first Group 1 winner since taking sole control of the Matamata operation, when Melody Belle took the Group 1 Tarzino Trophy, while Te Akau scored a scintillating first up victory over 1200 metres

Galloping 1000 metres in 1-02.5, with the last 600 metres in 34.5, Avantage travelled well within herself on the rail, with Chance to Dance on her outside, as the pair finished locked together, at the completion of an eye-catching workout.
