Lady Waratah won the feature race at two and three and now her daughter is a group one winner.

Owner-breeder Dianne Kelly was thrilled with the performance.

"It was beautiful as Lady Waratah was such a lovely mare and while she's had some nice horses it was just nice to win that race with Steno," Kelly said.

"Lady Waratah was the first of our real exciting horses."

Steno, who was a comfortable winner of her heat, went on to defeat Miss Ex by 4.2 metres.

It was her fourth straight win, a sequence which started with success in the Young Oaks in March.

Kelly was also thrilled to provide Cameron Ross with his first group one win.

Steno is having a couple of days off before attentions turn to the Queensland Oaks over the winter.

And set a new national in the process.

On campaign in New Zealand after receiving a late call up for 'The Race', where they finished second, Majestic Cruiser really benefited from his first experience racing right-handed at Alexandria Park.

After finishing seventh in the Taylor Mile at group one level the week prior, Majestic Cruiser charged home to turn the tables on Self Assured.

First up for the Ellen Bartley stable, the four-year-old mare ripped home from the tail of the field to take victory.

It was her first win in almost a year.
