After seven straight seconds last year, and two more for good measure before winning her first race, the five-year-old is not one to win out of turn.
She hadn't been placed in her next five starts since breaking her maiden status in June.
However Richardson went in pretty confident after talking with West Wyalong trainer Peter Birks.
"On paper it was her race today," he said.
"Pete was quite confident she would run a good race, he gave her a couple of weeks between runs and said she was jumping out of her skin so we were quite confident."

He scored a race-to-race double with Our Lady Lara and Escape Artist.
