PREMIER trainer Emma Stewart has done it again.

Like she has on so many occasions, Stewart has dominated tonight's Tabcorp Park Melton meeting with six victories.

Stewart's haul includes both Group Two Tatlow Stakes.

It's the sixth time Stewart - who holds the national record for nine wins at a meeting - has registered a sextet on a card.

"We had a pretty strong team in tonight and on paper it looked like we were in for a good night," Stewart said.

"It doesn't always work out that way, but it is very satisfying when it does."

Stewart kick-started her domination when Our Little Jet proved too slick in the Allied Express Classic.

Driven by Kate Gath, Our Little Jet caused an upset as a $15 shot to account for Elegant and Beach Memories in 1:55.9 over 2240 metres.

Two hours later Our Little Jet's famed older half-sister, Ladies In Red, outstayed her rivals in the Angelique Club Cup.

After racing in the death seat', the four-year-old scored by a head from the fast-finishing Dougs Babe along the sprint lane.

Treachery, a stablemate of the winner, was as head way third.

Rating 1:53.3 over 2240 metres, the daughter of Mach Three took her record to 20 wins and five seconds from 25 starts for earnings of $811,020.

"What can you say about her that hasn't already been said?" Stewart remarked. "She's just a marvellous mare...a once in a lifetime mare."

Our Little Jet and Ladies In Red's triumphs were split by wins from Narutac Prince and Petracca, with the latter capturing the colts' and geldings' division of the Tatlow.

With Nathan Jack holding the reins, Petracca worked to the lead before rating 1:58.1 over 2240 metres as Rock Artist and Naturally Gifted filled the placings.

"That was a very pleasing run," Stewart said. "He hasn't raced for two months and still did it pretty easily.

"The run will do him the world of good as we work towards the Breeders' Crown."

Stewart was then successful with Hes Ideal before Tempting Tigress won the fillies' Tatlow Stake.

Completing a winning debut three weeks ago, Tempting Tigress overcame bad manners early in the feature to score by six-and-a-half metres from her stablemate, Perfect In Pink, which is a half-sister to Ladies In Red.

Soho Seraphine was six metres away third in 1:56.2 over 2240 metres.

"There is plenty to like about this filly which is pretty much racing on raw ability," Stewart said.
