Lightly raced filly Point Barrow is likely to return to stakes company after a first-up win in maiden grade at Bendigo on Thursday.
The Anthony and Sam Freedman-trained daughter of Blue Point was placed in the Listed Merson Cooper last November at her only start as a juvenile and another Listed race at Moonee Valley on September 6 is a possible target.
Owned by Robert and Barbara McClure, who bred Storm Boy among a host of other high-quality horses, Ridgmont Farm and the late Colin McKenna's Halo Racing Services, Point Barrow broke her maiden over 1100 metres under a ride from Daniel Stackhouse as the $1.95 favourite.
“We'll just get her home, make sure she pulls up all right. There's the Atlantic Jewel Stakes coming up in a couple of weeks, which probably would suit her. But we'll just see what the boys (Anthony and Sam) want to do with her," stable representative Billie Rodda told Racing.com post-race.
“Look, she's a lovely filly. She's tried out really nicely. Obviously, she's got some little temperament problems where she can sort of miss a kick or be slow out and get quite racy."
The second foal out of Group 3-winning Reward For Effort mare Take Pride, Point Barrow was a $400,000 Magic Millions purchase by her trainers from the Yarraman Park Stud draft.
