In a tight three-way finish the Peter Moody-trained filly Bring Me The Maid did very well to win on debut, albeit narrowly. She was eased to race in second last place in the eight-horse field, tracking behind runners but only three lengths from the leaders. She switched out on passing the 200m, challenged strongly at the 100m and fought gamely to win by the narrowest of margins. It was a smart effort nevertheless. Husson Eagle was checked at the start and raced in last place before putting in a strong run from the 300m. He looked the winner when he took a narrow lead at 100m and then kept fighting on for second. It was also a very good effort on debut. More Radiant, another first starter, showed good pace being a handy fourth in the early stages. She was under pressure from Glen Boss from the 300m but she kept responding in game fashion to fight out a close three-way finish for third. She looks the makings of a good filly. Eloping ($2.75 fav) again displayed good pace, leading to the 200m. But she was a little disappointing in the latter stages, tiring to finish fourth beaten two lengths with a five length break to Darley-raced filly Alaska, who finished fifth. *ANZ
