The Cindy Alderson-trained filly Miss Vixen scored a very good first up win. Having only her second race start, she was ridden quietly and was second last in the 14-horse field in the early stages. She improved along the inner from the 800m to be about fifth on straightening, switched out at the 200m, hit the front at the 100m and then went on to score impressively. The Nigel Blackiston-trained filly Lady Of Flanders was beyond midfield nearing the home turn, went deep in turning for home and then ran on really well for second, putting up a good effort on debut.
