Anthony Cummings has never shied away from a Group One challenge and that may well be the next step for Rosehill winner Vergara.

The mare led all the way to win Saturday's benchmark 85 (1500m) to earn a trip to Brisbane.

Cummings' son and stable foreman Edward said Vergara's campaign had been interrupted by the washed-out Hawkesbury meeting earlier this month but her win showed she was back on track.

"There are two nice options for her in Queensland," Cummings said.

"It's two weeks into the Eye Liner and three weeks into the Tatt's Tiara.

"Knowing Dad it will be the Tatt's Tiara."

The 1400m race for fillies and mares at the Gold Coast on June 20 is the final Group One race of the Australian season.

Sent out at $6.50, Vergara jumped cleanly for apprentice Taylor Marshall who rated her well in the lead.

The mare had plenty in reserve, holding off the $3.10 favourite Role Model by a definitive 2-1/4 lengths.

"The tactics were not really what we planned but she adapted," Cummings said.

"It's a great win for her breeder Pat Carroll who has been a long-time stable client and raced Turffontein."

By Snippetson, Vergara is out of Graces Spirit, a daughter of dual Group One winner Turffontein's dam Spirit Of Grace.

There are no lofty plans for the Chris Waller-trained You'll Never, winner of the Octagonal Handicap (1400m), a race of mixed emotions for his owner-breeder Don Storey.

A long-time racing aficionado and former administrator, Storey also races veteran Rain Affair, the topweight in the race.

Although his last win was the Missile Stakes in August 2013, the Joe Pride-trained Rain Affair was supported, firming from $8 to $5.50 second favouritism behind You'll Never.

As is his usual pattern, Rain Affair led but as also become his pattern, the seven-year-old had little to give inside the final 100m and finished sixth.

"This was maybe going to be Rain Affair's last race but he still went OK so I don't know," Storey said.

Rain Affair has won more than $1.5 million and has four Group One seconds on his record.
