The Vanity Stakes attracts good quality fillies where the set weights & penalty conditions of the race favours the better performed fillies engaged for the race.

Fillies contesting this event may go on to the Gr2 Moonee Valley Fillies Classic at Moonee Valley in early March and Romneya (2009) was the last three-year-old filly to win both the Vanity Stakes & Moonee Valley Fillies Classic double.

Stronger fillies contesting this race will most likely consider tackling the Gr2 Kewney Stakes on Super Saturday of racing at Flemington in mid March and Ballet Society (2005) is the most recent galloper to take out the CS Hayes Stakes & Kewney Stakes double. Do Ra Mi (2nd in 2011) won the Kewney Stakes later in the carnival after running second in this event.

The 2011 edition of this race produced multiple Group 1 winners in the months ahead, including Southern Speed (2011) who went on to win the Gr1 Caulfield Cup at Caulfield in the spring, Shamrocker (4th in 2011) who won the Gr1 Australian Guineas against the males at Flemington in March, and Absolutely (6th in 2011) who travelled to Sydney in April to win the Gr1 AJC Australian Oaks at Randwick.

Southern Speed (2010) won a 3yo race over 1200m at Morphettville in Adelaide prior to winning this event and recent Vanity Stakes winners include Tallow (2010) and Romneya (2009).
