Babiche executed what she had been threatening to do for a while at Pukekohe when she opened her winning account.
The daughter of Ocean Park had finished in the money in four of her previous six outings before breaking through.
Trained by Catherine Cameron, the four-year-old was successful over 1600 metres in the hands of Andrew Calder.
