Absolute Flirt has announced her return to her best with an utterly dominant first-up victory down the straight at Flemington on Saturday.
Absolute Flirt ($2.40F) was rock solid in the market and it could not have been an easier watch for favourite backers as she made the benchmark 78 contest look like a barrier trial.
The daughter of Stratum was the beneficiary of a clinical ride from champion hoop Damien Oliver, who quickly found cover as the field punched the breeze over the 1100m trip.
He settled Absolute Flirt nicely behind the leader Madam Superior before peeling out and pouncing at the furlong as she exploded with a terrific burst of speed to race clear and claim the three-length win.
