Making a belated start to the season, high-class Street Sense (USA) mare Cosmic Storm came with a barnstorming finish to claim Saturday's Jungle Mist Classic (1200m) at Ascot.
Winner of the Listed WATC Belmont Oaks at three, Cosmic Storm was making her first start since finishing third in the La Trice Classic back in January.
With Willie Pike in the saddle, the Grant And Alana Williams-trained 5yo mare looked to be spinning wheels at the 300 metre mark but charged in the final 200 metres to score the unlikeliest of wins.
The Northern Meteor mare Meteoroid was a head back in second with the 6yo Fath mare Distant Memory a half-head back in third.
A homebred for Bob and Sandra Peters, Cosmic Storm advances her record to 5 wins, 3 seconds and 2 thirds from 11 starts with earnings of $302,300.
She's been good to us, it's good to see her come back, it's a long time since she's raced," Bob Peters said.
The daughter of Kentucky Derby winner Street Sense (USA) (pictured) is the best of three winners from the first four foals of the top-class Stormy Nova.
The daughter of Metal Storm was a 7-time winner highlighted by the Group III WATC Champion Fillies Stakes and Group III Sir Ernest
Stormy Nova has an unraced 2yo Sebring filly named Mikimoto.
