The 3-year-old was in the money at her first two appearances before she triumphed in style over a mile.
Trained by Nigel Blackiston at Ballarat, Accordingly is out of the Golan mare L’Accord.

L’Accord is also a sibling to the dam of the Gr.2 Empire Rose Stakes and Group One placegetter Zanna.
Ocean Park completed a winning double at Donald when Miss Damita successfully followed Accordingly’s lead.
Prepared by Mick Price, the four-year-old came off a month’s break to score over 2000 metres and her second career victory.

Miss Jaydeejay is a sister to the Gr.1 VRC Derby winner Kibbutz.
