Time has been a best friend to the well-related Fastnet Rock filly Orphea.

A sister to the Gr.1 Australian Guineas winner Rock Classic, she won for the second time in six appearances when she overcame a wide barrier to score at Pukekohe on Sunday.

"She showed a fair bit in the spring before we put her away," said Lance Noble, private trainer to owners Brendan and Jo Lindsay. "We're not in any rush here and Brendan and Jo are very patient."
