From Within Wins The Henley Homes APC Handicap at Caulfield.

Trainer Danny O'Brien has picked out the $175,000 Listed Alinghi Stakes as the spring target for From Within after her first-up win at Caulfield. 

The Alinghi Stakes (1100m) is run at Caulfield on October 17 and is a race From Within took out in 2018 when trained by Toby Edmonds. 

From Within proved too speedy for the favourite Front Page in Saturday's The Henley Homes APC Handicap (1100m) at her first run since June and in the process scored her first win since April last year when successful at Eagle Farm. 

Despite having her fourth start for O'Brien, the trainer said it was the first time the mare had been under his care for a complete preparation. 

O'Brien said From Within had been trained primarily from his training complex at Thirteenth Beach ahead of Saturday's return. 

"We got her off another stable and then gave her a winter down at Thirteenth Beach where she's done a lot of beach work," O'Brien said. 

"I think that might've made her a little bit tougher and fitter than what she's probably been in the past."
