"The main reason we came here today was with that race in mind," said Peter Snowden.
"It was just what we wanted to see. She had a great record before we got her but it's good to see her do it for us," Snowden said.
"She settled really well, relaxed well, towed Kerrin around the corner and let down beautifully," added Snowden.

The colt, which was a $100,000 purchase for Triple Crown Syndications from the Grange Thoroughbreds draft at the 2014 sale, took his earnings past $200,000 today for trainer Peter Moody.
Boss is confident of the colt's chances in the Group 1 MRC Caulfield Guineas over 1600m, for which he is nominated, adding "the further he goes the better he will be. He has mile written all over him."
Madam Gangster (Al Maher x Domino Effect)failed to meet her $25,000 reserve when offered form the draft of Yarran Thoroughbreds as a weanling at the 2011 Inglis Great Southern Sale. Today the five-year-old took her earnings past $350,000 after taking out the Group 3 MRC Cockram Stakes at Caulfield over 1200m.
Jumping from barrier 15, Blake Shinn rode the mare expertly to victory for trainers Lee & Shannon Hope, who were confident about the mare's progress toward the Group 2 Let's Elope Stakes over 1400m at Flemington next month.
"She has always had a lot of fight in her and she has a lot of guts. As long as she pulls up alright she will go to the Let's Elope," said Lee Hope.
Magnapal (Magnus x Luxapal)was ridden to victory by Luke Currie in the Listed MRC Heatherlie Stakes over 1700m in the concluding race at Caulfield. A $70,000 purchase from the Yallambee Stud draft at the 2011 Inglis Premier Yearling Sale for co-trainer Terry O'Sullivan, the now six-year-old has earned over $250,000.
Magnapal will attempt to step up to 2000m in the Group 3 MRC Naturalism Stakes next month, as Terry and Karina O'Sullivan consider the possibility of a run in the Group 1 Caulfield Cup over 2400m, for which he is nominated.
"You know he's tough. He's raced well at Caulfield," said Terry O'Sullivan.
"The question was stepping up to the 1700m second-up but he's handled that so I think he'll go to the 2000m very well," O'Sullivan said.
