G3 Carlton Draught Kembla Grange Classic, $200,000, 1600m
Race summary
The Arrowfield Stud-raced Miravalle (Redoute’s Choice) had contested six consecutive Group races since winning her maiden at Warwick Farm in the spring, including a fourth in the G1 VRC Oaks.
Resuming following a break when unplaced in the G1 Surround S., she settled behind the leading pack on the fence and apprentice Tom Sherry drove her between runners in the straight for a first black-type win for both horse and rider.
The favourite Elizabeel (Power {GB}) got back in the running and she made ground determinedly for second with the outsider Pipali (Ilovethiscity) third.
