The Peter Moody-trained filly Pink Perfection ($1.90 favourite) followed placings at her first two starts with a sound effort to win in good time (58.15). She began quickly and went immediately to the lead. She steadied the early pace (first 200m 23.95), was travelling strongly approaching the home turn and grabbed a clear break on straightening. She coasted to the line over the final 50m to win comfortably by a length at the post, for a soft win. She is a speedy filly with a future. Stratalena was sixth in the seven-horse field to the 600m before moving up wide, under riding, nearing the home turn. She was still giving the leader about four lengths at the 200m and she made up good ground in the latter stages, as the winner was eased, to take a good second. The Gai Waterhouse-trained colt Shaftesbury ($5) went forward from the barrier but was forced to work before getting to second at the 600m. He was under riding on straightening and held on fairly well for a sound three and a half lengths third, on debut. *ANZ
