This G2 for 3yo fillies only was won easily by the Australian bred Needle And Thread that led from barrier rise in the 2000m event and scored by four and a half lengths in 2:03.09. It was her second win and first at Blacktype plus it came after finishing fourth here at G2 just under a week ago over the mile. The winners and where they came from were eighth (five-off the inside and four lengths from the leader), fourth (trailed inner and length and a half from the leader), third (four-off the inside and a length from the leader), led (one-off the inside and led by two lengths), second (two-off the inside and eighth lengths from the leader), third (four-off the inside and a length from the leader), led (neck in front and one-off), ninth (seven-off the inside and three lengths from the leader), third (four-off the inside and a length from the leader) and third (two-off the inside and length and a half from the leader). Needle And Thread was very superior to her rivals at this distance and she will run the Oaks trip so that looks an obvious target later in the season. Lily's Lady, a stablemate of the winner and having the same breeder and owner too ran a sound second after racing seventh the inner and then working off the run home. She ran on solidly for a maiden and having her first try at Blacktype too and looks another Oaks prospect as well. If Affare was third home and only just missed second place at the line She had prior to today run a cracker at Listed level over 1500m here at Ellerslie, so this natural backrunner was looking for the rise in trip to 2000m today. After racing second last she came up tenth and wide turning for home and was seventh at the 200m before coming with a big finish wide out. A deadheat for fourth occurred between Beaune and Canuhandleajandal with the former coming from last on settling and fighting on well the inner and the latter surged home widest from eighth on settling. Sixth home was Sweet Anna, which started third favourite and after racing fourth or fifth the inner she moved into second at the 200m before weakening a tad. She also lost her left front plate in the running and she was five lengths from the winner at the line. Fleetwood Maca clipped a heel and blundered at the 1400m but still settled down sixth and she fought on okay all things considered for seventh beaten just under six lengths. Eighth home was Beautifulnightmare that ran okay from third last the inside to be beaten just over six lengths. Ezdara was next home and she raced third mostly then went up second turning for home only to run out but was still third at the 200m. The maiden filly wilted but considering that she has never even run a place she ran well above herself. The rest got beaten over nine lengths and as far as over twenty-seven lengths with only one of them being backed in Illusion Of Paris that hung throughout. The winner Needle And Thread was very dominant but there were also several good efforts that came behind her though the overall depth of this filly field has to be questionable. It was not of a G2 depth and five of the field had not won a race too.
