Trainer Tony Sears has predicted Basara could quickly move up to stakes company after she resumed with a runaway win at Doomben.
The Ben Currie-trained Bella Occhi ($1.50 fav) went into the race unbeaten but Basara ($4.20) responded to Matt McGillivray’s riding to win Wednesday’s 1050m-benchmark 65.
