W.A. Champion Fillies Stakes (G3)
After placings in her three starts since resuming, the Darren McAuliffe-trained filly Art Series recorded her first Group success and took her very consistent record to five wins and five placings from ten starts. She settled in fifth place on the rails, was blocked on straightening, angled into clear running at the 100m and came with a late run to grab victory at the post. Private Dancer was caught deep from her wide barrier and settled in eighth place. She improved (wide) nearing the home turn, moved up well to take the lead at the 200m and was only overtaken in the final strides for a very good second after a wide run. The favourite Mikimoto was fourth early on but was shuffled back to eighth (one off the rails) before moving up well (deep) rounding the home turn. She challenged at the 100m and then battled on well for a close-up third, her first defeat in four starts to date.
