About
Gentle Steel is a 4yo bay mare from Australia trained by Julius Sandhu. Her sire is Alabama Express and her dam is Calmante. To date she has recorded five wins. On 14 Mar 2026 at Caulfield she captured the $175,000 Mystic Journey (f&m Swp), her biggest victory so far. She has been a rewarding choice for bettors; backing her throughout her career would have yielded a 166% ROI.
