She’s no flyer on the training track, but Out Of Square is bringing her best on race day.

The speedy daughter of Hellbent nailed a fourth win in five starts at Murray Bridge on Saturday, as Richard and Chantelle Jolly continued a barnstorming run of form this month.

Settling tailed off in a field of nine, jockey Jake Toeroek steered Out Of Square ($4.80 Sportsbet) to the outside at the 500m as she unleashed a powerful sprint to overhaul her rivals in a Benchmark 68 over 1200m.

“She’s been a bit of a surprise packet really, at home she doesn’t really show much, but it comes to race day and she really switches on,” Chantelle Jolly said.

“With the blinkers on her last two starts, it’s helped her travelling in the run, at home you can hardly get her out of a canter – it’s good for the connections.”

Toeroek now has an unblemished record of three wins from three rides on the filly, who is set to tackle the $105,000 Racing Rewards 3YO Plate (1200m) at Murray Bridge on June 14 before a possible stakes tilt.

“She’s a mare that we keep pretty fresh at home, there’s a rewards race coming up in three weeks, she’ll go there and after that we might give her a little freshen up and look at something like the Lightning, try and get some stakes placing on her,” she said.

“Obviously we’ll take it one run at a time, but that will be the goal.”

It was the first win of a race-to-race double for the Jolly yard, who also saluted with Great Maximus in race three.

The father-daughter duo have been in a purple patch, scoring eight winners over the past fortnight, and notched a 400th winner as a training partnership with Star Sirius at Flemington last Saturday.

Snoopy Now and Eroica were also impressive winners on Saturday. Eroica secured a riding double for leading apprentice Rochelle Milnes, after she won earlier in the day aboard Lake’s Folly. Crown Mint ($26) pulled off a boilover, the gelding flying home under Taylor Johnstone to win a Benchmark 66 (1800m) for trainers Gordon Richards and Damien Moyle.

It was a special day for apprentice jockey Caitlin Tootell, with the talented hoop nailing a first metro win aboard Novela ($13) for Michael Hickmott.

Tootell allowed the gelding to roll along in front, stretching out to a lead of eight lengths at one stage. The pair looked vulnerable at the 300m as the chasing pack reeled them in, but the son of Valentia remarkably fought back to poke his head out on the line.

Tootell had family trackside to celebrate the milestone.

“I heard them across the line, I didn’t even know if I had it, but I kind of did because of the screaming,” Tootell said post-race.

“Thanks to Michael for putting me on, it’s a pick-up ride so anything could happen.

“It’s a relief, a big relief, (thanks to) my boss (Travis Doudle), my ex-bosses Shayne and Chelsea Cahill, my family and all my friends.”

Victories with Lake’s Folly and Novela saw Hickmott nail a double at his home track, splitting training honours with the Jolly’s on the nine-race card.
