Chris Waller’s Montefilia stormed home for Nash Rawiller to take out the $2million Petaluma Wines Hill Stakes, producing a sensational turn of foot in the straight.

Rawiller then captured the $1.5million Alan Brown Stakes on Cepheus for Matthew Dunn just 35 minutes later, continuing on his sensational form during the carnival.

If that wasn’t enough, he made it a feature treble on the bounce thanks to Magic Time (for trainer Grahame Begg) in the Group 2 $200,000 Nivison.

Other highlights from the day included:

*Tyler Shiller rating filly Makarena a treat in $500,000 Toyota Forklifts Tapp-Craig
