The Wayne Hillis-trained Liquid Inspiration took full advantage of the wet conditions at Matamata on Wednesday to win the ADM Feeds Ltd 1200 on the heavy11 track.
The Iffraaj mare jumped away well and was pushed forward to take the early lead under apprentice jockey Darren Danis.
The pair did not relinquish their advantage, with Liquid Inspiration distancing her rivals in the straight to score by two and a half-lengths over Saint Croix with Icing on the Cake a further two lengths back in third.
“I thought that with the rain she was going to be the one that liked it the most,” Hillis said.
“You still get the wet conditions on and off during the spring, so we’ll just try and keep her fresh.
“I’ll give her three to four weeks before we run her again and hopefully find another wet track.”
