For the first time, the Anthony and Sam Freedman operation will tackle an Adelaide Group sprint with two representatives.

Point Barrow and Ameena are the father-son teams hopefuls in Saturdays Group 1 Robert Sangster Stakes (1200m) on Morphettville.

The race has proven fruitful for the Freedmans since achieving Group 1 in 2005, with Lee Freedman taking three in a row beginning with Alinghi, succeeded by Ellicorsam and Universal Queen, and Anthony triumphant with Shoals in 2018.

Sam Freedman hopes to inscribe himself among the winners, certain that his two sprinters present strong cases.

Early wagering has Point Barrow at $4.60 favourite and Ameena priced at $34.

Freedman highlighted Point Barrows flawless campaign to date, drawing parallels to Shoals explosive finish in her Sangster conquest.

“This has been a target race for the whole prep,” Freedman said.

“She’s coming in with the strongest form and due to circumstances in the Oakleigh Plate, we didn’t see her at her best, but she put up a great run last start.

“Maybe it wasn’t a great field, maybe she got the right run throughout, but they’ve still got to go out and do it.

“Shoals won this race a few years ago and had a better CV than Point Barrow but had a similar sort of racing style where she got back and swooped down the middle.

“I think for a three-year-old filly, I wouldn’t go swapping her with any that are in there.”

Point Barrow missed a planned Sandown jump-out last week as Freedman deemed it unnecessary.

Opting for Mornington last Saturday, she worked sharply on the course proper, impressing her joint trainer.

Ameena makes her Group 1 return first-up since spring, bolstered by four recent jump-outs.

Employing the same strategy as 12 months back that yielded second in the Sangster and fourth in The Goodwood, the Freedmans proceed confidently.

“She’s going in fresh,” Freedman said.

“She ran brilliantly in the race last year fresh. She should have nearly won, so we’ll follow the same path.

“There is the Goodwood a fortnight later for both them if you have a hard luck story or they pull up well, so there is the option to do that, but I don’t think they will be pushing on to Queensland as this is very much a target race for them.”
