The six year old, which has fully recovered from a cracked pastern sustained after her first up win for the stable, drew poorly at Melton. but fortunately, was gifted a dream run.

Martin said he was confident heading into the race, but was concerned after drawing barrier eight.

“She had been in good form leading up to the race, but I knew we needed a good draw to be a chance,” Martin said.

“We didn’t get the draw we wanted, but she ended up getting a bit of luck and sat behind the leader all the way.

“Once she landed in that spot, I more or less thought the race was over.”

Hellovaway’s driver Chris Svanosio waited patiently as the leader ran along at a good pace. Turning for home, he took the option of using the sprint lane and Hellovaway stormed home to win by more than six metres, recording a smart mile rate of 1.54.1.

“The leader really set a good tempo and I knew if we had the right run, she could win,” Martin said.

Martin is now planning to take Hellovaway back to Tabcorp Park Melton this Friday night, stepping her up in class in a M1 and M2 race.

He said there was no reason why the mare could not continue her winning form.

“She should be right in the money again,” Martin said.

“She has only had a handful of starts and is getting better with every race.”

Martin said Hellovaway had done an amazing job coming back from her cracked pastern.

“She didn’t race for 14 months and that was after a win, so it was a bit disappointing,” Martin said.

“She had an operation in Ballarat and went to the paddock. It seems to have done her the world of good. She has come back solid. She’s grown a lot and is a lot stronger now.”

Martin, who owns the mare outright, said he had since learnt that Hellovaway’s mother, Jilliby Jasmine, had a similar start to her career.

“I found out the mother raced very similar,” he said. “She was  late maturer and took a while to settle down, but she developed into a really good race mare. I’m hoping Hellovaway can keep going now. She is really starting to hit her straps. She comes from a great family and we will be keen to breed from her down the track.”
