Imoto put punters in the right mood when she showed a touch of class in winning the Charlie Aguis Handicap.

She opened up as favourite, and that is where she remained, there was money for Moscow Pearl, the third place getter, and Orlando’s Bride she raced in centre field for much of the race.

Barbara Joy carted the field along at a solid pace until nearing the home turn; from there she soon began to weaken.

Imoto is by Bianconi, is a half sister to Yosei, whether she can attain BlackType status remains to be seen.

The mare was looking for a run at the top of the straight when the field began to bunch up, once the run came it was all over red rover, Imoto was away in a stride.

Tranquera, out of the Robbie Griffiths yard, has not run a place in her last five starts since winning at Mornington, back in September, turned in a nice run, a similar type of race this time in could suit her.

Moscow Pearl is another that came under notice, she battled away fairly well, she was on the pace for most of the way and held her position to the line.

Imoto was just too good
