Initially, Miss Sikkara's odds tumbled from $8.00 to $2.00 before another wave of bets saw her start a dominant $1.70 favourite.
Having her first start for Bush since transferring from stables at Kembla Grange, Miss Sakkara (Ricky Blewitt) held a slender lead approaching the home turn then raced away for an easy two-and-a-half length win over Uncle Jed ($4.60, Alan Barton) and Fortior Ito ($8.00, Dayne Bennett).
Another Forbes trainer, Peter Kirby, also had a win at Mungery when Senoritaville saluted in the Maiden Plate (1200m).
After a head-to-head battle in the straight, Senoritaville ($6.00, Alan Barton) gave a final kick to beat the favourite Carry Forward ($1.60 fav, Ricky Blewitt) with Miss Hieronymus ($11.00, Ashlee Beer) third after showing pace.

Owned by Val Wray and Wendy Robb, and trained at Nyngan by Rodney Robb, the consistent Right Of Reply won the Narromine Hotel Mungery Picnic Cup (1750m).
Since the start of August, Right Of Reply had won the Carinda Cup and been placed at Louth, Coonabarabran and Come By Chance.
Given a good run behind the leaders Over In Killarney and Change Of Pace, Right Of Reply ($1.70 fav, Mark Webber) took control in the straight and recorded a convincing win over Dog Tags ($4.60, Ashley Boyd) and Millenium Hawk ($3.40, Ricky Blewitt).
Robb and Webber also combined to win the Ag 'N' Vet Services Class B Handicap (1200m) with Kizz's Munro ($2.00 fav).
