She led throughout to land the prize by a length and three-quarters in a
dominant display.The talented filly is Karaka Million eligible and that will be a long-range target, having been sold through the draft of Ardsley Stud for $100,000 at the New Zealand Bloodstock Book 1 Yearling Sale.
"She is a natural two-year-old. She's a precocious little filly," Latta said.
"We will just give her a week in the paddock and then all going well she will go to the Wellesley Stakes (Listed, 1000m).
"We were looking for an early type of filly and Neville McAlister, who owns half of her with Lincoln Farms, really liked her pedigree and then we liked her on type as well.
"She has got a very good brain and that bit of toughness that is good to see in a filly."
