She sat outside the leader and gave a good kick to win by two and a half lengths with Sam Freedman confident she is a filly with more to offer.

Parcae is a half-sister by Blue Point (IRE) to Tentyris, who both the Group I VRC Coolmore Stud Stakes and Lightning Stakes earning himself a stud career with the handsome son of Street Boss (USA) standing at Darley NSW this spring at a fee of $88,000.

She is the  third foal to race and third winner from Deity, a winning half-sister by Exceed and Excel to stakes-winner Maternal from four time Group I winner Divine Madonna.

Deity has a yearling filly to follow by Anamoe and has foaled this spring producing a filly by Too Darn Hot (GB).
