The five-year-old mare was having her first run for her new owner/trainer Sally Torrens and couldn't have started any worse after missing the jump and being four lengths off the second last horse approaching the Tamworth turn.

Torrens admitted she had given up after her new mare had dwelt at the start.

She had shaken her head and thought she had wasted her money before it all turned around in such brilliant fashion. Greg Ryan had tracked up to the field on turning and then found a way through two or three horses off the fence.

"It was a great run," Ryan said.

"I had a lap-full of horse. She'll win again too."

Torrens was delighted and still suffering a little shock to see the mare finish so well from last.

"Greg said when he turned for home he had that much horse under him and when he took the run she took it so quickly. It amazed him...and me," she said.

"She's a lovely big mare. And had been running good races over 11 and 1200m down (in Victoria) there.

"It'd been a bad day with that little mare in the previous race I thought was a chance too bleeding out of both nostrils."

In a close finish the first four were within a length, Class Aplenty beating home Stephen Jones' The Light of Day and Tully Ho (Graham Watts).

Torrens will look for a Class 2 races "somewhere" now for the daughter of Supreme Class.
