With three wins (two here at Doomben) in her last four starts, Stella Victoria continued her good form with a convincing win here, her maiden stakes and fifth overall. She began fairly then accelerated to be a clear second inside the 1000m, sitting just outside the leader. She inched closer entering the home straight, challenged at the 300m then took over at the 200m. Jockey Jeff Lloyd kept pumping and she drew away to win nicely by a length and three quarters. Shesees Everything began her run from the 600m, pulled out but didn't balance until the 200m then finished well for second. Conquering Lass led them in, was collared at the 200m but fought quite well to just hold third from Foxy Housewife who had her chance at the 200m but peaked to run fourth.
