This was not a very strong G2 3yo filly field at all with maidens filling the first four positions across the line. The winner She Brings Joy however looks to have upside galore and is untapped for the autumn. She got her best barrier lifetime today so far and got a nice trail the inner then was held up early the run home before getting into clear air. Her sustained finish saw a half head win in the very slow time 2:07.25 to record a first win and it came at G2. She may be by Sebring but looks like and races like a stayer so the G1 NZ Oaks is on the radar at the moment. Adis led up and almost stole it after being let get away with murder in front as when she sprinted the run home it left rivals flat to the floorboards to pick up and pursue her. Grand Soleil sat midfield the outer and kept coming to reach fourth at the 200m before getting third at the post and the valuable G2 placing on the resume. Drive Force sat fifth or sixth the inner and reach third at the 200m only to lose that position on the line. Nicoletta was seen running on late for fifth and was a length and threequarters from the winner at the post. Avec Moi was okay when sixth but beaten over three lengths while Glass Slipper that ran clear favourite as a maiden, was an ordinary sixth beaten over four lengths. She showed no pop or ping the run home and it is either the ground was too firm or she cannot run middle distance or may need a freshen up and did not back up from Boxing Day less than a week later. Angeline was poor but looks a stayer that was flat-footed in a sprint home event so she deserves another chance when next seen out. Arctic Miss was outclassed but has a maiden win in her at the right track while Madam Monica may not be a middle distance type as her dam was a sprinter. She may have been feeling the ground too and needs some cushion or cut so like a few flops in this give one more chance. This race was nowhere near G2 standard and in fact would struggle to be Listed level with so many maidens and just three single race winners in it. The winner however She Brings Joy has the physique and will to win of the one that will score a lot more times.
