The daughter of Million Dollar Cam had her first three runs for Yirribee Pacing Stud principal Rod Woodhouse before Lavington trainer Chris Chant found the key to success.
Getting a soft run behind leader Lettuceplayginger, Milliondollar Rose ($11.30) was able to find space in the straight to ease to victory in the Pet Rock @ Yirribee Three Year Old (1755m).
Chant was very impressed with how the three-year-old filly finished off the race coming home in a last half of 57.7.
"I thought if she could settle in behind them so should we able to out sprint them as she's pretty fast," he said.
"I was a bit worried as she hasn't had a trial and was first up and thought she might have needed the run.
"She should improve off the run a bit."
With a third and fourth in her first two starts, a 10th place finish in her last start wasn't enough to disuade Chant from purchasing the filly.
"I liked her from watching a few of her trials and races and thought I'd ring up and ask how much he wanted for it and bought her," he said.
"She went good her first couple but she pulls a bit and went a bit ordinary in the third one and now I'm just trying to calm her down a bit.
"She's starting to settle a bit more now."
Rebecca Brown sat quietly in the sulky as the filly was never really extended, winning by 6.9 metres.
Clocking a mile rate of 1:59.6 she finished well in front of Lettuceplayginger ($1.20) and the Woodhouse-trained Seeknyoushallfind.
Paul Kahlefeldt had four runners in the race, including the favourite, but had to settle for second, fifth, seventh and last.
His fifth runner in the race Lettuceventilate was scratched on race morning.
