MISS DUSTY battled to victory in the Kranji Stakes C (Div 2) event at Kranji here today but had to survive an objection to secure her third win in eight starts.

The New Zealand mare was lightly-raced with just six runs last year, winning twice.

MISS DUSTY returned to racing after a short let-up last month and finished down the field after going with the pace.

This time around, she settled in second spot, shot to the front in the home stretch and held on to beat beat EAGLE EYE by a short head.

Vlad Duric, rider of EAGLE EYE, lodged a protest for alleged interference but was quickly dismissed.

"She benefitted a lot from her first run. She needed to blow the cobwebs," said Ben Thompson who also rode her last time out. "She was very strong to the line. She’s got some class that mare. I wasn’t too worried about Vlad’s objection as he never stopped riding his horse in his usual style."

MISS DUSTY is a half-sister to NOVA SWISS who's already won six times in 17 starts in Singapore, after picking up two wins in New Zealand.
