Chris Waller-trained filly Youngstar capped a meteoric rise by taking out this Group One race after winning a Hawkesbury maiden (1500m) on 17 April. Now unbeaten in three starts since, she settled in ninth place, made an early move due to the slow tempo to be handily placed but was under pressure when a number of runners made their bids at the 600m. She was taken deep on turning for home and rallied strongly with a late run to grab victory in the last few strides. Her stablemate Another Dollar had a nice trip from her good barrier (2), moved up (deep) at the 600m, got to the front at the 200m, only to be caught on the post for the closest of seconds. Sheezdashing raced midfield on the rails, got between runners coming to the home turn and ran on really well to figure in a three-way photo before finishing a close third in a smart effort. Coral Coast settled in last place from her outside barrier (16), made a mid-race move and improved (very deep) at the 600m. She got to third at the 200m and did well in holding on for (2.9 lengths) fourth after a difficult trip.
