Having finished behind only Mouttet Mile winners, or runners-up, in her last three races, United States-bred SUPERNATURAL POWER has cashed in a conditions bye two classes lower, facing overnight-allowance runners in Saturday’s World Vet Day Trophy at a mile.
Before finishing fourth in last year’s US$300,000 Mouttet Mile behind RIDEALLDAY, LEGACY ISLE and FUNCAANDUN, SUPERNATURAL POWER had actually clocked the fastest time at a mile for 2026, a zippy 1:36.2, carrying 119lb in an October open allowance, repeating against TIZ TOK, who she had beaten at the same level, clocking 1:25.0 for seven furlongs in September.
It will take an insane punter to even consider an option, absolutely no need to loom past position-one at any other runner in the feature.
SUPERNATURAL POWER’s last run was second behind RIDEALLDAY track record 1:41.4 in Easter Monday’s Ian Levy Cup. The Mouttet Mile winner obliterated fellow importee Smile ‘N’ Leave’s at eight and a half furlongs.
RIDEALLDAY posted 1:41.4 with 126lb, two-fifths of a second faster than Smile ‘N’ Leave’s 1:42.1, carrying 96lb in 1997.
SUPERNATURAL POWER, who finished two and a half lengths behind RIDEALLDAY, clocked 1:42.2, a fifth of a second off Smile ‘N’ Leave’s 19-year-old track record.
It gets really ridiculous for a grade-one runner, who twice beat open allowance in the last seven months, to be a pound heavier than hapless local breds SENSATIONAL SOUL and MARK MY IDENTITY, neither of whom has ever won an overnight allowance, a level lower than open allowance.
