Racing on the speed throughout, Bangkok Hottie showed plenty of determination to hold off the fast-finishing Striking Alibi ($2.70 favourite) by three-quarters of a length, while Global Goal ($7.50) was a long neck away in third after catching the eye late. The victory secured Bangkok Hottie a shot at the Group 1 Flight Stakes (1600m) on October 3, though punters have gravitated towards the placegetters in futures betting. Despite the win, Ladbrokes has Bangkok Hottie as the $6 third favourite, with Global Goal promoted to $3 Flight Stakes favouritism after an eye-catching mile trial, while luckless runner-up Striking Alibi has firmed from $8 into $3.60 following her enormous effort in defeat.
