The three placegetters came down the grandstand side.

Trained by Shea Eden at Cranbourne, Ocean Embers advances her record to 6 wins and 1 second from 16 starts with earnings of $412,050.

"We've always had great faith in this horse and her ability. She's only lightly raced," Beriman said.

"Last starts she got run off her feet over the 1000m I really thought the 1200m would suit with a bit of give in the track."

Bred by Arrowfield Group and Jungle Pocket Pty Ltd, Ocean Embers was a $23,000 purchase by her trainer out of the Cornerstone Stud draft at the 2014 Magic Millions Adelaide Yearling sale.

A half-sister to three winners including the Japanese Group III winner Fireflaught (Special Week), Ocean Embers is the eighth foal of the Tabasco Cat mare Burningwood a 3-time winner in Japan and a daughter of the US Grade II winner Wood So (Baederwood).

Burningwood has a yearling filly by Smart Missile and a filly foal by Panzer Division.

Beneteau left 136 live foals from his only two crops before his death in January 2013.
