Recent runnings of the Ladies Day Vase:
- Grinzinger Belle ($5) took out the Group 3 Ladies Day Vase at Caulfield following a perfectly timed front-running ride from Damian Lane aboard the Danny O’Brien-trained mare. The daughter of Shamexpress looked to be the only leader on the speed map, and after jumping well from barrier 11, Lane crossed the field to take up the lead at a solid clip. Settling in behind the leader was Vibrant Sun ($15), ahead of See You In Heaven ($5.50) and Fire Of Etna ($15), who were at least three lengths off the leader as they ran around the final corner. Lane lifted the tempo from the 400m mark on Grinzinger Belle, and she left the speed runners in her wake as she kicked clear by the 200m mark to wrap up the win. See You In Heaven boxed on steadily for third place, but it was Private Legacy ($34) who caught the eye when flashing home from the back of the field to finish second, beaten by half a length on the line.
- Wishlor Lass ($2.20) took out the Group 3 Ladies Day Vase to take her career record to five wins from seven starts, proving that the Symon Wilde-trained mare still has a lot of upside. The daughter of Mshawish was heavily backed with online bookmakers, from $3.00 into her starting price of $2.20, suggesting that many punters were in the camp of Wilde’s mare. Damian Lane was having his first ride on Wishlor Lass, and after she jumped well from barrier six, Lane allowed the five-year-old mare to roll along at her own speed. After the field rounded the home turn, it appeared as though Barbie’s Fox ($4.80) was going to run straight on by, but the leader picked herself up off the canvas and kicked to win the race by a neck, with Foxy Frida ($8.50) running into third place just under two lengths away.
- The Pride Of Dubai mare, Sirileo Miss ($19), demonstrated her affinity for the track and distance by securing another victory in the Group 3 Ladies’ Day Vase (1600m) at Caulfield. Having claimed the same race 12 months earlier, there was to be no denying the Symon Wilde-trained mare. Guided by jockey Ben Melham, Sirileo Miss led from start to finish, triumphing over Belle Plaisir ($7.50) by 1.25 lengths, with Glory Bound ($11) finishing a further half-neck behind in third.
- The ultra-consistent Sirileo Miss ($2.45) secured a crucial stakes victory at Caulfield, enhancing her future prospects as a broodmare with a gritty performance. This win marked her sixth triumph in 10 starts, as she claimed the Group 3 Ladies’ Day Vase (1600m), providing jockey Linda Meech with a double for the day. Starting as the favourite, Sirileo Miss edged out Foxy Frida ($12) by a head, with Harmony Rose ($4) finishing a further head back in third.
- Danny O’Brien enjoyed a one-two finish in the Group 3 Ladies’ Day Vase at Caulfield, as Sovereign Award triumphed over stablemate Fabric in the $200,000 mile race following a perfect steer from jockey Jamie Kah. Sovereign Award, the $3.10 favorite, tracked the pace alongside Fabric ($11) before pulling ahead in the straight to secure victory. Fabric finished a half-length behind in second, while the Archie Alexander-trained Chaillot ($6.50) charged home to claim a close third.
