Tasmania: Three features and a maiden for Scotty
By Adam Williams, April 26, 2017 - 1:31 PM

Scott Brunton dominated yet another Hobart meeting last Sunday, taking three of the four $25,000 feature events on the program.
The first of them was for the mares over 1200 metres, with the Brunton-trained Step the Pedal coming from the tail of the four-horse field to score comfortably under David Pires, bringing up a hat-trick of wins.
The leading trainer went on to take the three-year-old feature over 1100 metres with outsider Angel of the Abyss, ridden by Ismail Toker, who survived a protest from runner-up Gee Gee Double Dee. 
The Snippetson filly was big overs at the starting price of $37.90 given that she had beaten key rivals Chillout and Double Dee in the spring.
In-form Sebring gelding Cheryl’s Horse rounded out Brunton’s feature treble, coming from just off the pace to take the open handicap over 1600 metres with Pires again in the saddle.
Brunton and Pires also combined to take the open-age maiden plate over 1200 metres with West On Broadway. who scored a dominant 6¼-length victory.
Brunton has now notched 79 wins for the season and looks a top chance of breaking the Tasmanian training record of 88, which he established in partnership with his father, David, in 2010-11.
The juvenile feature went to the Stuart Gandy-trained Gee Gee Lanett, who made it three wins from her past four outings scoring by 4¼ lengths under Siggy Carr. 
Later, hobby trainer Leon Laskey celebrated his first win for 13 months when outsider Reann’s Diamond came from a clear last to take out the Class 3 handicap over 1600 metres under Mehmet Ulucinar. 
Laskey has just the two horses in work, Sunday’s victor and the lightly raced Miss Chat a Lot.

Elsewhere, Tasmanian apprentice Raquel Clark celebrated her first $100,000 win when she scored on the Len Jarvis-trained Beautiful Flyer at Morphettville last Saturday. 
It was a mixed day for Tassie jockeys in SA, however, Victor Wong falling when looking a winning chance in an earlier event on the program. 
It looked to be a heavy fall but Wong escaped injury-free.
