The Danny O'Brien filly was burdened with 60 kg in the Benchmark 70 fillies
event and hit the line hard to win by a neck with Craig Williams in the saddle.Her overall record is now an impressive three wins and two placings from five starts with $156,000 in prizemoney.
"She's come a long way in a short space of time, continuing to improve each time she's stepped out," O'Brien said.
"We'll keep the base fitness that she's got through this summer campaign and she'll bounce into the autumn, probably in mid-February for a race like the Vanity (Stakes).
"She may even get out to 1600 or 2000 metres later in the season."
