DROP IN CLASS SEES HIBISCUS BLOOM

A drop in class saw the talented White Hibiscus bounce back onto the winner's list at Sandown over 1600m on Wednesday. 

After contesting a strong Saturday class fillies and mares' BM78 at Flemington over 1600m at her last start, the daughter of Animal Kingdom dropped back to mid-week BM70 grade and proved far too strong thanks to a masterful ride by in form jockey Damian Lane. 

The win was Lane's third for the week for the Danny O'Brien stable, which augurs well ahead of the combination teaming up trying to win into the All Star Mile through Saturday's Blamey Stakes with Inspirational Girl.
