She edged out TTs Little Lass, who took control in the third quarter with an impressive last-to-first brush in the six-horse field. TTs Little Lass led into the stretch, but Noble positioned Astreas Notice on her back and then moved to the inside and prevailed in a driving finish. Whats The Hurry finished third.
Favoured Western Royalty took the lead after the opening quarter and led for the next half-mile before TTs Little Lass swept by her to gain the lead. Western Royalty faded to fourth.
