Spanish Whisper followed her good first-up second to the promising mare Pippie in the Cockram Stakes (Gr 3, 1200m) at Caulfield on August 31 with a smart win here, her third Group success in 14 starts. She had a nice trip in fourth place, moved up on straightening, hit the front on passing the 200m and then went on to score well. Miss Siska raced outside the leader (Fundamentalist), went to the front at the 300m and then battled gamely for second in a good first-up effort. The favourite Fidelia settled back in ninth place on the rails before improving between runners from the 300m. She went back to the inner at the 100m and then did well in fighting for a close-up third. Amberdi was a handy fifth to the home turn and battled on for (1.1 lengths) fourth while My Pendant made good ground from tenth at the home turn for (1.3 lengths) fifth.
