Tasmania: Kanji can do as Breaana breaks through
By Adam Williams, June 19, 2018 - 11:05 AM

Last Sunday’s Devonport meeting was one to remember for apprentice Breaana Smith, who notched the first win of her career at her 16th race ride.
The 21-year-old is indentured to astute trainer Barry Campbell but her first success came via the Kaye Milne-trained Kanji, who took the benchmark 76 handicap over 1350 metres at his first run back from a spell. 
The Haradasun gelding started the outsider of the five-horse field but was able to hold off the challenge of short-priced favourite Spihro after racing on pace throughout.
Campbell was also in the winner’s circle at his home-track meeting when his promising filly Enzian took the benchmark 64 handicap over 1150 metres after enjoying a box-seat trail under Craig Newitt.
The lightly raced daughter of Needs Further has now notched three wins from four runs this campaign. 
Campbell’s fellow local trainer Adam Trinder took the honours at Devonport with a brace of wins.
He kicked off in the day’s opener, an open-age maiden plate over 1150 metres, with well supported debutant Harriman ($6-$4 equal favourite), who led throughout under apprentice Chris Graham. 
Trinder completed his double with Ariconte, who wore down stablemate and pacemaker Kyogle Son in the last couple of hops to take the Class 4 handicap over 1000 metres.
The Murtajill gelding had been given a gun run just off the pace by Daniel Ganderton.
Mowbray trainer Marion Dalco produced the upset of the day when her charge Saalim finished off strongly to take the maiden/Class 1 plate over 1880 metres under Ismail Toker. 
The Fastnet Rock gelding had been unplaced at his first 17 runs but hadn’t been far behind Sunday’s more fancied rivals Westy and He’s Tough Enough at his first run back from a break.
He was safely held on heavy ground second up but appreciated the return to the firmer Devonport synthetic.
The six-year-old wasn’t without supporters either, firming from $31 to $26.
