Having finished second and fourth at her last two starts at black type level behind Midnight In Tokyo, the Chris and Corey Munce-trained Lonhro’s Queen got the better of that mare on Saturday, recording his first black type victory when taking out the $200,000 Listed BRC Nudgee Stakes (1200m).

Warwoven was not the only 2YO winner for Sword of State on Saturday and it will now be an anxious few weeks for the connections of State The Obvious as they wait to see if their filly makes the cut for the $1 million TAB Karaka Millions 2YO (1200m) at Ellerslie on January 24.
