Now with Will Clarken after being previously trained by Lloyd Kennewell, Cosmic Alert was fit and ready to fire at her third run back from a spell and raced handy to the pace before kicking clear to win the 1600 metre feature by a length.

Passed in as a yearling and retained to race, Cosmic Alert runs for Ultra Racing and has the overall record of three wins and three seconds from nine starts and over $100,000 in prizemoney.

She is the first winner for Cosmic Rock, a winning Rock of Gibraltar (IRE) daughter of stakes-winner Cosmic Strike.

Golden Grove have entered the current yearling from Cosmic Rock, a filly by Shamus Award, for the 2019 Inglis Melbourne Gold Yearling Sale as Lot 219.
