Russian Revolution filly Coast Princess was having her second start following a debut third at Sale earlier this month and finished off with a late surge to win the 1200m maiden by a head.

A $140,000 Magic Millions purchase from the Sledmere Stud draft for Lindsay Park Racing, Coast Princess was also bred by Sledmere and is the second winner from Group III placed Universal Prince mare Spirited Princess, a half-sister to stakes-winner Fire Thunderbolt.
