After indicating potential with fourths at her first three starts, Balmain Girl scored her first win narrowly but well. She was smarty away, settled nicely in third place before moving up (wide) on passing the 800m. She responded to riding on straightening, challenged at the 100m and finished a bit too well to score a good win, looking suited to further. The Peter and Paul Snowden-trained Pepperberry has now run second at her only three starts. Having her second run this preparation. She soon crossed from her wide barrier (12) to lead, got a break coming to the 200m and then fought back well when challenged in the closing stages to take another second.
