Having just her fourth career start, the Thomas Carberry trained Strictly Business looks one to follow for the future as the daughter of Yulong’s Grunt (NZ) powered clear to win the $1m Group 1 VRC Crown Oaks (2500m) by a widening three and a half lengths at Flemington on Thursday.

Winning the Group 2 MVRC Vase and finishing second in the Group 1 VRC Derby at 3, the Ben, Will and JD Hayes trained son of Fiorente (IRE) had almost 12 months away from the track before resuming with an impressive Moonee Valley win recently, backing it up on Oaks Day at Flemington to win the Listed VRC Chester Manifold Stakes (1600m).
