Flirtini wins Tabtouch-Prince Of Wales Stks Group 3, $150,000 at Ascot, 1000m.
Coming off a game third here two weeks back in the Listed 1000m Crawford Stakes, previously four times stakes-placed Flirtini added win four and her maiden stakes success at start 12 with a rousing finish here.
She settled midfield soon after the jump drifting to sixth (rails) at the 600m. Moving out from the 400m, she turned in five wide yet into the straight took some time to wind up but from the 200m flew hard, grabbed the lead at the 50m and won going away by a length.
Misty Metal sat a handy fourth from the 400m, had to wait for a run and burst through at the 200m and looked a major chance but could only watch the winner fly past.
From last, Stageman tracked the winner into the straight and rattled home (wide out) for third from Valour Road who tried hard in the straight but was outgunned for fourth.
