• 2nd: No. 3 Chilly Girl
• 3rd: No. 10 Striking Alibi

Winning Margin: 0.5 lengths

Winning Time: 1:09.30

Bangkok Hottie ($8.50) announced herself as the new Princess Series standout with a sharp, on-speed victory in the 2026 Furious Stakes results at Randwick, surging late under a perfectly judged Kerrin McEvoy ride to upset the favourite and stamp herself as the early Flight Stakes benchmark. The fit Too Darn Hot filly bounced straight into the race, travelled sweetly, and out-kicked the previously unbeaten Chilly Girl, while Striking Alibi charged home for an eye-catching third. With Silver Shadow winner Pembrey failing to fire on the quick turnaround, Bangkok Hottie’s decisive half-length win saw her Flight Stakes quote at Ladbrokes slashed from $15 to $5, elevating her to outright favouritism for the Group 1 on October 3. Trainer David Payne confirmed she’ll head to the Tea Rose Stakes next, confident the progressive filly is now fully furnished and ready to peak across the remainder of the Princess Series.
