She can turn the tables on SHE’S A HUSTLER, aided by a 6kg swing in the weights. ALALCANCE the proven class mare that will roll forward from the good gate. MOVIN OUT going better than the form guide suggests.

The race name Matriarch Stakes was first applied in 1995, and the Kilmore and Ballarat Cup winner Magical Storm was victorious. The race name was inspired by the Grade 1 Matriarch Stakes, a mile race for mares on the turf in the USA, first run at Hollywood Park in 1981 and later at Del Mar Racetrack, California. Among the best winners of the VRC Matriarch Stakes has been multiple Group 1 winner Lucia Valentina, successful in 2015 before winning the AJC Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Randwick the following year.
