Captain Neki out of Captain Girl by Daiwa Major broke her maiden in her first race with a stylish performance. Positioned at the head of affairs, she broke away from the field in the home stretch and held off a barrage of late challengers in the last furlong.

While on paper it was just a maiden, it proved to be a huge landmark win for jockey Keita Tosaki. The win marked Tosaki's 1400th winner in the saddle. Reflecting on the achievement, he commented "She is a big filly but knew what she was doing. When I asked her to go front, she responded nicely, it was a smooth ride. Looking forward to her future."
