Blue Gum Farm's dual Group I winner Turffontein added a new winner to his tally at Geelong on Tuesday when Day Two Miss saluted in good style.

TurffonteinPlaced at her only two previous runs, the Darren Weir trained filly was sent out favourite and produced a sensational finishing burst to zoom home from near last and win the 1300 metre maiden by a head.

A modest $25,000 Inglis Premier purchase from Session II from the Flinders Park Stud draft, Day Two Miss is the third winner for Porschalaine, a half-sister by Keltrice to Group II winner Jiang.
