Three-year-old filly Absolute Empress, who made a good debut when third in a 3YO Fillies Maiden (1200m) at Canterbury on 3 December, scored impressively here. She began quickly from her outside barrier (11) and immediately crossed to the lead. She then settled well and steadied the pace before dashing clear shortly after straightening and went on to score comfortably by a length and a half.
