Luck played little part in Anfitriona's VOBIS Gold Heath win, which provided a six-figure windfall for connections at Caulfield on Saturday.

Anfitriona's jockey Glen Boss was unable to get the filly closer than three horses off the inside rail throughout the race but the three-year-old proved too strong in the straight to score by three-quarters of a length.

Anfitriona earned $120,000 for her connections with her brave win but trainer Peter Moody admitted to a few concerns with Boss's ride early in the race before acknowledging the jockey's judgment turned out to be perfect.

"I won't discuss what I was saying about Bossy being three-deep facing the breeze but it was a tremendous ride, well-judged and maybe she was happy being in that free-flowing atmosphere," Moody said.

Anfitriona's win was the culmination of a long-term plan to claim some of the millions available in VOBIS bonuses in Victoria.

The rising four-year-old started her career with Gerald Ryan in Sydney before joining the Moody team after her summer campaign.

"For a filly like this, it is tremendous money and the only way they can earn more is by winning black type," Moody said.

Earlier, consistent three-year-old Self Sense ($3.70) carried 60kg to victory for the second successive outing in the Mypunter.com Handicap.

Stepping up to 2400m proved no problem for Self Sense after the responded to jockey Noel Callow's vigour to beat Wanna Dance by a head while the $3.60 favourite Pharrell was a short half-head away after leading for most of the race.

"I reckon he is going to be a nice country cup horse next year," Callow said.
