Cantala Stakes (Group 1)

THE Matthew Smith-trained Fierce Impact has become the first horse to complete the Toorak Handicap-Cantala Stakes double since Magari in 1982. It’s also four consecutive weeks that a Japanese-bred horse has claimed a feature race in Melbourne. The Deep Impact stallion prevailed to just deny the Irish-bred Sea The Stars horse Fifty Stars and the New Approach gelding Cascadian.
