Mark Smith - Saturday January 14

Ridden by Holly Watson for Simon Miller, How's The Serenity defeated the 6yo War Chant (USA) mare Express Time by a length and a half, with the 6yo I Am Invincible gelding Long Beach a long neck back in third.

Miller has a fantastic record in the race, winning with Power Princess (2012), Hussy By Choice (2014) and Caipirinha (2018), Valour Road (2020), Flirtini (2021), and Miss Conteki (2022).

Coming off a maiden stakes win in the Listed WATC Summer Scorcher (1000m) at Ascot on New Year's Day, How's The Serenity advances her record to nine wins, three seconds, and three thirds from 21 starts with earnings of $457,260.
