The benefit of having a run under her belt paid dividends for Adelaide trained filly Silversands, the narrow winner of the Inglis Banner at Moonee Valley.

After a $35,000 purchase at the Sydney Classic Sale, in January, the filly is showing connections a handsome profit having returned $153,000 already in prize money.

She had an advantage on many of the other runners having had race experience; she finished third to Duckworth at Morphettville.

Whilst the margin was not great she showed a ton of courage coming from a fair way back on the home turn.

Race experience again proved it is a great advantage, particularly in two year old races as it has done so often.

Basically it was the prize money that encouraged Richard Jolly to bring his filly, Silversands, over to Melbourne to share in the money on offer.

On that run she will be back here again to take on the Melbourne juveniles in the Maribyrnong Plate at Flemington.

Cornrow showed a good turn of foot, Mick Price thought he might have been a bit over the top, he will be put away immediately, the Blue Diamond has been ear marked for him.

Silversands is by the American bred sire Dudleo, he stands along side of More Than Ready, both are located at Vinery Stud in the Hunter Valley
