(Photo by George Sal/Racing Photos) The Grahame Begg-trained Maharba ($19.00) has fended off the late challenge of Rey Magnerio ($4.80) to claim victory in the Group 3 Rising Fast Stakes (1200m) at Flemington on Saturday afternoon.

Elettrica shines with an impressive victory in the A$160,000 Benchmark 78 Handicap. Photo: Bradley Photos Rosehill trainers Richard and Will Freedman believe Elettrica’s six-year-old season could be a career-best for the Kiwi-bred mare, who carried top weight to an impressive victory in Saturday’s A$160,000 Benchmark 78 Handicap (1300m) on her home track. Previously a two-race winner in New Zealand, the daughter of Vespa added two Midway Handicaps to her CV during a five-year-old season that banked her connections more than A$198,000 in stakes.

Too Darn Lizzie ($10) and Kuroyanagi ($17) took up the…

(Morgan Hancock/Racing Photos) Chris Waller & James McDonald have combined early on Derby Day, with Aeliana ($5.50) proving far too classy for her rivals in the Group 3 Carbine Club Stakes (1600m) at Flemington on Saturday afternoon. The daughter of Castelvecchio put the writing on the wall last time out, producing a stunning turn-of-foot to claim victory in the Group 3 Reginald Allen Quality (1400m) at Randwick on October 19, going on with…
