QE II Challenge Cup – Grade I (P2)
1 1/8 Mile Turf Stake Purse $500.00 Filly 3 Year Olds.

1st   Maggie Greene               The Sidley Stud  Husbands P

Put the slightly disappointing effort in The Canadian behind her with a  strong win here getting back to winning ways after two graded stakes wins before the blip at WO. She is a real solid turf router and should go on to do well as a four year old down the line.

2nd   Alligator                            Maxmillion Farm  Baze T C

Another that disappointed in the Canadian she looked strong off the front for much of the race but couldnt hold Maggie Greene’s finish at the death. A busy but good year she is another that could train on nicely.

3rd   Moonlight Bliss              Fractious  Albarado R J

This filly ended up at silly odds considering her recent efforts and kept on well for third.

4th   Nancy Broom Moytoy  Team 7 Illusions  Nakatani C S

A real disappointing favourite she may have needed the run as in her last start she won the grade one DMR Oaks in the same winning time as this but today was fairly weak at the end to finish fourth.
