In Sydney, she became the first filly since Angst, in 1993, to win all four legs of the Princess Series - the Silver Shadow Stakes, the Furious Stakes, the Tea Rose Stakes, and the Flight Stakes. In Melbourne, she took on the older horses when third in the Cox Plate and won the VRC Oaks by three lengths when she came back to her own age.
