Fascino wins Antler Luggage Fillies Classic, Group 2, $300,000 at Moonee Valley, 1600m.
In exciting finish, the judge could not separate Fascino and La Falaise, both fillies staging nice efforts here.
Fascino settled in sixth place after being caught wide, early on. She moved up (deep) from the 600m, hit the front at the 100m and then dug deep to dead-heat for first.
La Falaise had a good trip in fourth place, between runners, but was held up behind the leaders nearing the home turn.
She got into clear running on straightening and then came with a late bid to share the winning result.
Nudge had a good trip in fourth place on the rails from her inside barrier (1). She took a split halfway down the straight and then battled on well for a close-up third.
Bonvicini raced in fifth place but caught wide. She improved (deep) nearing the home turn, briefly hit the front in the straight and then held on well for fourth, beaten a half-length, after a difficult trip.
