A winner on debut at Echuca on December 31, the daughter of Duporth followed with a good third at Sandown last month.

With race experience and fitness on her side, Private Lounge proved too good in the Benchmark 64 event over 1200 metres despite over racing in the middle stages.

Private Lounge is the first winner from Crystal Club, who comes from the family of Group I winners Excellerator and Artistic.
