South Australian-trained filly Silversands ($31) benefited from a nice rails trip, following a solid tempo, to score a surprise win. She settled seventh on the rails from her good barrier (3), improved nicely to fifth at the turn and then got a split between runners nearing the 100m. She then drove through to score by a neck. The Gai Waterhouse-trained filly Donelle ($4.20 fav) did very well on debut. She began smartly but was trapped wide from her barrier (9), racing three wide outside the leaders. She challenged strongly in the straight and fought back gamely for a close second, putting up an impressive effort at her first start. Cornrow began well and drove though from his good barrier (2) to hold the lead. He then battled strongly, after working most of the way to retain the lead, for a close third on debut. Boomwaa was trapped four wide outside the leading trio after starting from the outside barrier (14) and held on particularly well after his torrid trip for a good fourth. *ANZ
