Adelong made the most of the suitable conditions at Randwick to assert herself in Saturday’s Listed Bob Charley AO Stakes and join the long list of graded winners produced by her sire Medaglia d’Oro.
A filly who has shown a preference for softer tracks, Adelong powered through the soft going to score by a half-length from Wandabaa with Viridine in third place.
After travelling comfortably behind the leader from the gates, Adelong was poised to make her move at the 250m and quickly put the result beyond doubt, sprinting clear and then comfortably holding off the runner-up.
