A look at how the winner of Saturday’s Group 1 measures up against past Tiara winners.

Technically, the Queensland Winter Carnival continues this Saturday at the Sunshine Coast, but the Group 1 curtain was drawn with Saturday's $700,000 Tattersall's Tiara at Eagle Farm.

The 1400-metre weight-for-age event was won by the So You Think five-year-old, Palaisipan, who proved a shrewd purchase for Katsumi Yoshida, winning a maiden Group 1 at her first start since Yoshida handed the previous connections an offer too good to refuse for the mare they bought for just $40,000.

Yoshida interest was cemented after the Chris Munce-trained mare finished a 2-1/4-length fourth as a $91 chance in the Group 1 Stradbroke Handicap won by rising star Think About It.

Palaisipan earned a Timeform rating of 111 for that Stradbroke performance, which was down two pounds on her previous peak of 113, earned in her narrow second placing under 59kg in the Listed ATC Trophy at the Sunshine Coast earlier this campaign.

Saturday's half-length win over Roots lifted that career peak to 114, a number that is around the mark recorded by most recent winners of the weight-for-age event.

The race-average since the Tiara became a Group 1 event in 2007 is 115.6, but the highest-rating winners of the race have been Melito, who ran 121 in 2010, and Red Tracer and Srikandi, who went 119 in 2013 and 2015 respectively.

But, since Srikandi, the only winner to exceed that Group 1 average is Tofane, who ran to 118 two years ago, with the average winning figure since 2016 being 114.33.

Palaisipan's number was the same as last year's winner Startantes, one pound higher than Invincibella (2019), Tycoon Tara (2017) and Miss Cover Girl (2016) and just one pound inferior to Prompt Response.

Sadly, for Palaisipan's followers, she is unlikely to get a chance to add to that record and improve that peak figure with Yoshida's purchase meaning she will soon be boarding a plane bound for Japan where she will join a big band of ex-Australian mares at Northern Farm.
