    Alpha Sofie ($3.80F)<\/strong>\u00a0proved far too sharp for her rivals in the\u00a02026 Peter Le Grand Stakes results<\/strong>\u00a0at Caulfield on Saturday, producing a brilliant turn of foot to sweep past the leaders and claim the sprint feature in style. The classy Capitalist filly from the Moody\/Coleman stable travelled sweetly throughout with Zac Spain in the saddle before exploding up the middle to surge clear inside the final 200 metres, reaffirming her status as one of the most reliable short-course performers of the summer, and beat home Wintery by 1.5 lengths.<\/p>\n\n\n
