The daughter of Betterthancheddar-Hay Macarena was a witness to a massive speed battle in Saturday’s final. Siochan motored to the lead and blazed a path to the quarter pole in :26. Mach My Kiss pocket popped in the backstretch and proceeded to lead the field to the mid-way point in :55.

Queso Relleno charged past the three-quarter pole in 1:23.1 and then used a :29.1 final quarter to win by a big margin over So Delightful and race favourite Kat, who recovered from an early miscue to take home third prize.Trainer Blake MacIntosh co-owns the youngster with Hutt Racing Stable, Sue Vernon Smith and The Flanagan Sisters.
