Mark Newnham-trained filly Nakeeta Jane is building an imposing record, now with three wins (and two placings) from five starts, highlighted by this Group 1 victory. Stepping out after her impressive first-up win in the Light Fingers Stakes (Gr 2, 1200m) here on February 16, she settled in ninth place, improved (deep) coming to the home turn, commenced a strong run on straightening before coming with a fast bid to grab victory at the post. Fundamentalist went to the front, beat off challengers and got a break at the 300m, only to be caught on the post for (half-head) second, her fifth placing from her last six starts. El Dorado Dreaming settled in seventh place on the rails from her inside barrier (1), got a split at the 300m and then battled gamely for a close-up third. Mizzy raced outside the leader (Fundamentalist) to the home turn and that held on really well for a close fourth. The favourite Pohutukawa was tenth on the rails, got a split nearing the 200m and then battled on well without being fully clear over the latter stages for (1.7 lengths) fifth.
