Darren Weir-trained filly Pleasuring followed her recent win at Hobart in the Strutt Stakes (Listed, 2100m) with another impressive stakes success here. She was given a good trip by Damian Lane in fifth place on the rails, behind a steady pace. She improved behind runners at the 600m as the tempo picked up, got a split on straightening, hit the front at the 100m and went on to score comfortably. Gone Girl settled near the tail of the field, improved (wide with cover) from the 700m, challenged at the 100m and then fought on very well for a really good second. The Danny O’Brien-trained Berkshire Lady was midfield, between runners, took a while to wind up when taken deeper on straightening and then came with a late run to grab third. Pateena Arena was outside the leader (Heaven’s Delight), went to the front nearing the home turn and held on for (1.9 lengths) fourth while the winner’s stablemate Maheera raced in about eighth place, made an early move at the 800m and was deep from that point as the pace increased. She challenged (wide out) at the 600m before holding on for (2.1 lengths) fifth.
