$4.50 would have got me interested. $5 I would have been in.
Certainly not the "worst Grp 3 race in Australia I've seen".
7 Grp winners in the race. Bengali - Australasian Oaks winner who was beaten into second only a length by Treasure the Moment in the Grp 1 Vinery. Machine Gun Gracie - winner of both the WA Derby and Oaks. Philia won the Grp 2 The Roses at Doomben. Jennilala won the Grp 3 The Matron Stakes beating Wrote to Arataki. Too Darn Discreet won the Ethereal and the Manifold.
