Red Ransom filly Fuddle Dee Duddle will cross the continent for the $250,000 Inglis Premier at Mornington on February 15 following a powerful victory in Perth on Saturday.

Fuddle Dee Duddle (2f Red Ransom – Bella Inez by Beautiful Crown) is eligible for the rich pay-day after  making $240,000 at the 2011 Inglis Melbourne Premier yearling sale.  “I decided to increase her workload after her disappointing run a fortnight ago,” trainer Lindsey Smith said.  “She still does a few things wrong so it was a good win.”

Smith claimed his filly is also looking for more ground and, in time, will progress to a mile.  Her win in the Advanced Hot Water & Air Plate at Ascot was over 1100 metres and the Mornington feature is an extra 100 metres.

Fuddle Dee Duddle is a younger half-sister to Group 1 filly Hallowell Belle (Starcraft) and is owned by Eddie Rigg (Geisel Park) and Ron Sayers (Yarradale Stud).

They also race Bliss Street (Flying Spur) who won the G3 MRC Thousand Guineas Prelude in September.  Her autumn campaign will kick-off in the G2 Light Fingers Stakes (1200m) at Warwick Farm on February 18.

Fuddle Dee Duddle is a member of Red Ransom’s penultimate crop in Australia.  The Vinery legend died in November 2009 and a year later he joined Northern Dancer, Mr Prospector, Sadler’s Wells, Sunday Silence, Storm Cat, Sir Tristram and Danehill among stallions to have sired 100 stakes winners.
