About
Gentle Steel, a 4yo bay mare from Australia, is trained by Julius Sandhu of Cranbourne. She is by Alabama Express out of Calmante. To date she has claimed three victories. On 9th Feb 2026 at Caulfield Heath she captured the $55000.00 Fillies & Mares Bm66 Hcp, her biggest win so far. Punters have found her a lucrative runner; a full‑career backing would have yielded a 205% return on investment.
