Vamos Stakes (G3)
Victorian-trained mare Vibrant Rouge began well and settled in seventh place, one off the rails, following a solid tempo. She improved three wide with cover at the 700m, got a split to challenge rounding the home turn, briefly looked beaten in the straight but then fought back gamely to score a gutsy head victory. Tasmanian mare Miss Middleton went back to last from her difficult barrier (13) and made a wide move from the 600m. She put in a strong bid in the centre of the track in the straight, running on very well for second, putting up a smart performance. Another Victorian mare Nadeem Lass, was midfield and wide with cover before moving up (wide out) from the 600m. She challenged strongly at the 200m and fought well for a close-up third. The favourite Lady Lakshmi was quickly away and led early on. She was then pressured and eased before coming outside the new leader (Snippetee Bee). She hit the lead again turning for home but then tired after her early efforts to finish (two lengths) sixth.
