Trained in Queensland by David Vandyke, the filly was among the favorites for the Schweppes Maiden Handicap over 1100 meters and having broken well from the stalls found herself in the leading pair throughout. It was apparent she was travelling better than the pacesetter for most of the race and as the field entered the home straight, Maloney gave her a little bit of reign and with that she moved alongside. With no dangers emerging from the chasing pack she went past the frontrunner to win with a bit in hand. “I had an open mind on how she would perform but I was expecting her to finish strong.” Said Vandyke on Friday “I wasn’t sure where she’d get in the run and I was surprised when she showed good pace from the gates to get up to sit second.” Her jockey was also impressed with her, both before and during the race. “She had a lot of presence about her when she first walked into the saddling yard and she’s been well handled by David.” Said Maloney, who saw her for the first time Thursday.
