The win was an outstanding one, with the two-year-old filly carrying the 59kg top weight and also conceding a considerable handicap advantage to older horses in the Helen Wilson Memorial Benchmark 50 Handicap (900m). Close to the lead from the outset, I'm Imogen (Luke Cumberland, $3.10 favourite) took control in the straight and won by more than four lengths from Sword Fighter (Vad Bolozhinskyi, $18) and Snitzel's Lass (Tiffany Jeffries, $8.50). I'm Imogen has now recorded two wins and two seconds from six starts.
Champion jockey Greg Ryan from Dubbo again dominated the regional premierships and he scored a double when guiding Showmore and Bold Strett Cat to victory for Sue Grills and Mark Milton respectively.
