In a race dominated by Victorian-based trainers, the consistent Darren Weir-trained filly Pleasuring had her first stakes success and took her record to two wins and five placings from eight starts in winning here. She was fifth early before settling in eighth place, one off the rails behind a good tempo. She commenced a wide move from the 600m and then ran on strongly, nearer to the outside rail in the straight, and finished far too well to score quite impressively. The Patrick Payne-trained Casa De Lago raced in fourth spot, set out after the leader (Maheera) nearing the home turn, challenged at the 100m and then battled on nicely for second. The winner’s stablemate Maheera soon went to the front. She moved clear, setting up a clear advantage on passing the 700m and then battled on quite well in the straight to take third after running a bold race.
