Not every horse handles Pontefract, but David gave her a lovely ride and she won by quite a distance." There's a nice programme for these fillies."īennett, best known as the owner of Ebor winner and Melbourne Cup runner-up Purple Moon, said: "That was very pleasing. "The Lillie Langtry is an option, as is the Lancashire Oaks and the Prix de Pomone. I think she'll only improve and hope she can win a Group race. Varian said: "She's four years old and still a touch unfurnished. Voodoo Queen gave jockey David Egan his fourth winner of the weekend following a Saturday treble at Redcar, and may have more to offer. He sent this filly's dam, Cursory Glance, to train and she was a very good two-year-old, winning the Albany and Moyglare Stud Stakes." "Craig has been a big supporter since I started training and has invested a lot in the game in the last 20 years. I'm delighted she's progressed to win a Listed race for Craig and I hope she can go on from here. "Voodoo Queen is a lovely filly, we've always really liked her. This was great prize-money and it's a big thumbs-up to Pontefract. Varian, who took over the licence on Jarvis's death in 2011, said: "I used to come here a lot.

The in-form trainer, fresh from success at Royal Ascot with King Of Steel and Royal Champion, landed the £80,000 Sky Bet Sunday Series Pontefract Castle Fillies' Stakes with Voodoo Queen to give owner-breeder Craig Bennett his 100th Flat winner. That's industry-leading (alongside Kia) and a testament to the depths of MG's belief in its new offering.Roger Varian is a less frequent visitor to Pontefract than in his days as assistant to Michael Jarvis so we should have known something was afoot when he made the trip up from Newmarket. "MG Motor Australia deserves plaudits for standing behind its product with a standard seven-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty with seven years' roadside assistance. There are times you have to remind yourself this is a $24K car."ĬarAdvice saved the final complement for MG's industry-leading seven-year factory warranty. "Noise suppression too is excellent, both around town and on the highway. Even sharp hits, such as speed humps, are dealt with easily, the ZS settling quickly into its rhythm."ĬarAdvice also said that the ZS's cabin was impressively quiet while driving. Bumps, holes and imperfections are barely noticed inside the cabin. "Where the ZS really shines, though, is in its ride. It's a perky application and really quite capable." "Powering the ZS Essence is a spritely in-line three-cylinder, 1.0-litre turbo-petrol unit mated to a six-speed automatic transmission sending drive to the front wheels (there's no AWD variant in the ZS range). the panoramic roof adds a lightness and airiness to the already comfortable interior."ĬarAdvice was also very complimentary about the MG ZS Essence's advanced drivetrain.

Step inside and you'll be greeted by a mature cabin that belies its price point. They found a lot to like with the styling inside as well. Their feedback from time behind the wheel of the MG ZS SUV is testament not only to the dedication and efforts of MG's designers, engineers and production workers, but also proof that MG cars are again of world-class quality, value and ability.ĬarAdvice said "the MG ZS goes a long way to dispelling those perceptions with its affordability, surprisingly excellent ride and comfort, interior appointments and stylish.

MG's Australian renaissance continues to win plaudits and glowing reviews, this time from the independent critics at CarAdvice.ĬarAdvice put the new MG ZS compact SUV through its rigorous week-long real-world testing regimen and found that not only is the Chinese-built SUV "sharply priced" against its rivals, it is "an accomplished small SUV" that is "affordable, packed with standard features, and finished to a standard that belies not only its price point, but also its Chinese origins".ĬarAdvice is one of Australia's most-popular automotive websites, and its journalists are highly respected automotive critics. The MG ZS compact SUV continues to win rave reviews from Australia's toughest critics.
