A mare who has had three different trainers and won for all of them, scored for her latest handler at Flemington on Saturday, staking a claim for a permanent address.

Goldslick was having her fourth start for trainer Mick Kent in the Dover Handicap (1610m) and showed both adaptability and talent to score.

"It was just a matter of getting the right run," Kent said.

"In her first few for me she's been wide and in trouble.

"She's shown what she's got today."

Goldslick arrived at Kent's Cranbourne stable from Queensland trainer Liam Birchley who decided she was better suited to anti-clockwise racing.

Before that she was trained by Lyle Rowe who won six races from seven starts with the mare in North Queensland.

Before that she had an original stint with Birchley in Brisbane.

On the way through, Goldslick had picked up an all-important stakes placing when second in the Group Two Gunsynd Stakes last May.

"She's obviously got some ability and her win today should get her up in the ratings and make some good races available," Kent said.

Goldslick joins an in-form team that has had some notable additions and one major departure in Werribee Cup winner Unusual Suspect who broke down in the Bagot Handicap earlier this month.

Kent's other two in-form stayers You Think So and Backbone will tackle next month's Listed Mornington Cup (2400m).

Goldslick ($6.50) landed some big bets including one of $10,000 each way, scoring by a half length from Unchain My Heart ($61) with the favourite Family Crest ($3.40) a long neck further back in third.
