I Am A Star added to her last start Flemington maiden win impressively. From barrier one, she took a few strides to settle in fourth after the first 300m, saving ground around the bend and just before the last corner found room one off the fence which allowed her to challenge for the lead into the straight. Rider Steven King sat quietly until the 200m then asked the question and the filly bounded clear and won clearly and with plenty in hand. Bangs led from the barrier and around the bend and into the straight. She stayed with the winner until the 200m and then held on the best she could to the line. One Blink was back around the bend and still last (wide) turning in, then kept on strongly almost grabbing second at the post.
