There were eight races run at Canterbury last night with the favourite successful in every single one and the trend continued at Randwick on Saturday with progressive Zoustar filly Zoubaby booking her ticket to the Gold Coast with a classy win in the Midway Benchmark 72 event (1200m).
Trained by Richard and Will Freedman, Zoubaby was back from a Melbourne campaign where she raced well in Black Type company finishing second in a Listed race at Moonee Valley and fifth in the Group III VRC Red Roses Stakes.
Ridden a confident race by Tommy Berry, Zoubaby led and kicked away to win by two lengths taking her overall record to three wins with prizemoney topping $175,000.
