2YO filly, KUALOA, proved her toughness by winning the VICBRED final at Melton, after racing 3 and 4 wide, and eventually facing the breeze for the majority of the trip. She took the lead down the back straight for the last time and was headed by gallant TWO TIMES BETTER at the top of the straight. In her characteristic style, she dug in and ground to the finish line, winning by 3 meters. By ART MAJOR out of imported AMERICAN IDEAL mare HAWIIAN HOTTIE, this was her 6th win from 7 starts.
