This 3yo filly Listed event over 1400m saw Honor That bury her rivals at $22 to win her second ever race. It was her first blacktype success and she came with a big finish down the outer to lead at the 50m then drew out such was her momentum to score by well over a length and clock 1:24.25. She had not paid a dividend for quite a while but hinted of late with two sound fourths that some form was on the horizon. Cantilena was colossal in defeat after being wide near the pace throughout and taking command at the 250m. A tardy start and overland trip thereafter saw her get bombed the final 50m and she must have won with a normal getaway and/or not being so wide and working all the way. Princes Davone ran an honest third but had every possible chance. Magic Mavis ran on attractively the closing stages from well back while also doing a good job late were Shezatoucha, Little Haast and Queen Serene. The latter three are all still maidens so will be very hard to beat should they tackle that grade next, Ruby Row can be forgiven again after an horrendous wide and very hard run for most of the race while Alyth was poor after an awkward start and deserves another chance. The winner Honor That was no fluke so may go on with it in the South Island against her own age and sex. Cantilena was the huge performance and she can swim so has more bases covered up into autumn and the winter. Magic Mavis has another win at least this campaign and on a roomier track will have more time to unleash.
