It was the first win in five starts for the promising filly, who has won over $111,000 in prizemoney.

A $50,000 Magic Millions Perth purchase for her trainer from the Amelia Park Racing & Breeding draft, She’s Fit is the first winner for blue-blood High Chaparral (IRE) mare Harpoon, a half-sister to triple Group I winning filly Special Harmony, the dam of stakes-winner Little Surfer Girl, who is in turn the dam of current Group I winning $3.1million earner Fangirl.

She’s Fit is the 18th stakes-winner for Pride of Dubai,  who has 17 entries for the Magic Millions Adelaide Yearling Sale.
