Ballarat trainer Darren Weir says Ava’s Delight has picked up a bad habit but she still managed to score a decisive win in Saturday’s Dominant Handicap (1500m) at Moonee Valley.

The Bjorn Baker purchased and trained filly Twilight Royale took her earnings to almost eight times her yearling sale purchase price when winning the $250,000 Inglis Premier over 1200m at Mornington on Wednesday.

It wouldn’t be a Melbourne Spring Carnival at Flemington without the Cummings name coming to the fore and at this year’s opening day it was Anthony who took the limelight with Fiveandahalfstar winning the day’s $1.5million feature, the Group 1 VRC Victoria Derby (2500m).
