Racing: Queen Elizabeth run beckons Maren

Miss Maren landed her best win yet in the Group Three Easter Cup at Caulfield, earning a a possible start in the Group One Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Randwick.

The Mick Price-trained, 4-year-old, brilliantly ridden by Glen Boss, made it four straight wins in yesterday's 2000m feature.

Boss let the Stravinsky mare, who started at $5, settle midfield in the 10-horse field and made sure that one of his main dangers, Raffaello ($4.60), was boxed in before making his winning run.

Miss Maren went on to score a comfortable 1 length victory over Raffaello with topweight Light Vision ($3.70 fav) a short half-head away third.

Boss had ridden Miss Maren just once before when she finished fifth to Dolphin Jo in the Group Two Winning Edge Presentations Stakes (2400m) on her home track at Caulfield last spring.

Stable representative Mick Nolan was delighted with the mare who was having her fifth run this preparation.

After racing her way out of restricted grade with an 1800m win at Sandown second-up in February, Miss Maren won the Listed Centaurea Stakes (2005m) at Morphettville and strolled in over 2000m in a mares event at Caulfield two weeks ago.

Nolan said the mare was on her way to Sydney and then Brisbane.

The stable is considering running Miss Maren in the Group One Queen Elizabeth Stakes (2000m) at Randwick on Anzac Day.
