Twice placed in her first three starts, maiden Treasure stormed into the lead half way down the straight and ran away for a easy win here.

She was well back (rails) around the far turn and down the back straight but jockey Michael McNab saw space at the 700m, pulled her wide and accelerated quickly to range up widest near the last corner. She greenly pounced on the leaders, co led then took over inside the 200m and raced clear for an easy win.

Caricature moved up in behind the lead near the last corner, challenged once into the straight and tried to match the winner but could not keep up for an honest second.

Luxe ran on from midfield to nab third late from Miss Foxy Gal who battled away next to fence to lunge into fourth.
