The smart three-year-old filly Isabella Snowflake made it four wins from five starts with a good first-up win. She was fourth with cover following the leader (Karuta Queen) before switching out at the 250m. She then finished gamely for a neck win in quick time (56.16) also returning fast sectionals of 32.21 (600m), 21.84 (400m) and 11.28 (200m). Ready To Rip, carrying top weight of 60kg, was back ninth to the 400m before putting in a strong run, getting to fourth at the 200m then failing by only a neck at the post after giving the winner 4kg. The smart mare Karuta Queen, having her first start for Peter Moody, showed her customary pace leading to the 200m before holding on for a sound third, beaten a length. Perturbo ran on from seventh at the 400m for fourth. *ANZ
