Trained by Clinton McDonald, Flying Temptress was narrowly beaten on debut at the same track last month when the breaks never came her way and punters were confident she could make amends tonight and were duly rewarded.

Ridden by Blaike McDougall, Flying Temptress opened up a big lead turning for home and won by a length and a half in the line.
