A heavy track on a miserable day at Warwick Farm was no hindrance to Katsumi Yoshida's Camelot (IRE) filly Re Edit who made a winning career debut in a maiden over 1400 metres.
Ridden by James McDonald, the Chris Waller-trained filly was standing the leaders up a considerable margin in the early stages.
Brought four wide to mount a challenge on the home turn, Re Edit (pictured as a yearling) hooked up with her more experienced stablemate Sizzling Ace who was not giving in without a fight.
Re Edit edged Sizzling Ace by a short-head with China Horse Club's Galina (Smart Missile), who is a half-sister to Group 1 winner Russian Revolution and Group III winner Turbo Miss, running on well to be a further three-quarter of a length back in third.
Bred by Desharon Bloodstock, Stableboard Bloodstock, Red Edit was consigned by Arrowfield Stud to the 2017 Inglis Easter Yearling Sale where she was knocked down to Japan's Katsumi Yoshida for $340,000.
That made her the most expensive of the 33 yearlings by her sire in 2017.
It was almost a double for the English Derby winner Camelot (IRE) (photo Mark Smith ) in the space of a few minutes after the Anthony Freedman-trained filly Crown Dancer came up a half-head short in the opener at Sandown.
Re Edit certainly has a Classic pedigree. Her dam So Divine (High Chaparral) is a Group III-placed sister to Group 1 Victoria Derby and Group 1 Spring Champion Stakes winner Monaco Consul out of a half-sister to Group 1 Australian Guineas winner Military Plume.
So Devine is looking to be worth every cent of the $130,000 outlaid by John Foote Bloodstock at the 2012 NZB National Broodmare Sale.
Her first foal, is the 5yo Commands mare Divine Command who won twice at Moonee Valley in March and her second foal, the 2-time winner Teodora (Teofilo), placed in the Group III SA Fillies Classic in May.
Re Edit is her third foal and she has a 2yo colt by Sebring.
After not being served in 2016, So Devine visited Lonhro last year.
A champion son of Montjeu, Camelot spent just one season in Australia, but the Coolmore stallion is making huge waves with his first few crops in the northern hemisphere.
