The Darren Weir stable is likely to chase a Group One success with Whispering Brook who is unbeaten in two summer runs at Flemington.

Whispering Brook backed up her first-up victory at Flemington on December 15 with an impressive win in Tuesday's Group Three Standish Handicap (1200m).

Ridden by Dean Yendall, Whispering Brook was the well-supported $3.30 favourite and held off $31 chance Smart Coupe by three-quarters of a length with True Excelsior ($21) a neck away third.

Weir was not at Flemington on Tuesday, instead supporting the once-a-year meeting at Burrumbeet in country Victoria.

Stable spokesman Brady Cross said the stable would look to set Whispering Brook for the Sangster Stakes at Morphettville in May, a race she finished fifth in last year.

"She's in flying form and with each run she's improving and it was a really solid win today," Cross said.

"She had a lovely bit of cover throughout and when she presented to the inside of Theanswermyfriend she let down and found the line really strong.

"It's a great result and a good way to kick off the new year."

Yendall said there was a lot to like about Tuesday's victory after Whispering Brook was left in front a long way from home.

He thought he was going to be in early trouble after the mare began quickly and was relieved to see stablemate Theanswermyfriend come through to take up his customary role as pacemaker.

"I knew he was a good one to follow and it was a good win," Yendall said.

"She was tough winning here first-up and today it was a better win.

"I anticipated getting there as late as I could but I was just going too well, so I got rolling at the 250 (metres) and tried to put them away.

"She hung tough all the way to the line, so in the end it was a good strong win."

Whispering Brook began her career in Perth with Simon Miller before joining Weir last March and the win was her fourth for the stable from six starts.
