Hellbent filly Benedetta is a star on the rise and took another big step forward when powering to an easy win in the $750,000 Inglis Sprint (1200m) at Flemington on Saturday.

The Jason Warren trained filly scored a commanding three length win over seasoned Group II winning filly Paris Dior.

She joins an illustrious honour roll of past Inglis Sprint winners, with the last five winners being She Will Reign, Fiesta, Rubisaki, Rocketing By and Overpass.

“Winning these big races is what makes the stable work, it gives us a profile, gives us a chance to go to the next level, these are the races that we target and to win one couldn’t be a bigger thrill,’’ Warren said.

“It’s really exciting, great to win a big money race. She’s always shown us she’s well above average but to put away a good field like she did, it’s brilliant.

“I buy a lot of horses off Inglis and this result is really satisfying. It’s been a bit of an effort to get her here, four weeks between runs and prep her up for this race, it’s satisfying for the whole team.

“I watched her trial against [Everest winner] Giga Kick last week and I thought she trialled better than him and he ran out of his skin today in Sydney. She’s going places, I think she’ll get some black type pretty soon.’’

Benedetta runs in the famous colours of Laurence Eales that were carried by Melbourne Cup winner Shocking and was a $75,000 Inglis Premier purchase for Eales Racing Syndications from the Mill Park draft.

Eales was equally satisfied with the result.

“It’s awesome, it’s the most exciting win I’ve had for many years,’’ Eales said.

“Inglis has been a great supporter of mine throughout the years and they’re a great supporter of racing. It’s a great thrill to win a race sponsored by them with a horse we bought from their sale.

“I really liked her at the Premier Sale… we bought her, put her out for a spell for three or four months and I was blown away, it really looked like she was turning into a real sort of machine.

“It’s all about the ticker and she seems to have the professionalism and the maturity to go on with it.’’

A half-sister to Group II placed Whatfox, she was bred by Brenton and Liz Parker and is the second winner from Group II placed Domesday mare Whatalovelyday, who comes from the family of Group I winners Leica Guv, Light Fantastic and Pharoah.

Benedetta has won four of five starts earning over $600,000 in prizemoney.
