Three-year-old filly Bottle Of Smoke followed up her promising debut win in a Maiden Handicap (1200m) at Echuca in September to score a very smart first-up win here. She settled in sixth place, but was trapped deep from her wide barrier (10). She moved up well (wide out) at the home turn, hit the lead at the 100m and went on to win impressively by two lengths, going to the post strongly. She looks suited to further and looks to have a good future.
