Saturday's race eventually came down to luck in running which jockey Mark Zahra was able to find while the Moody and Coleman-trained stablemate Mollynickers was held up in traffic.
Autumn Angel ($4.60) dug deep in the final 100m to hold off Basilinna ($21) by a half-neck with the $4 favourite Mollynickers a head away third.
Coleman said Autumn Angel was a special filly and the stable had always held her in high esteem.
"I'm shaking. That was amazing. Last start didn't go to plan at all, but to come through and to run like that today, she's really something special," Coleman said.
"She's a very tough girl. She gives us a bit of a hard time at home every now and again but when they're tough like that on race day you don't mind it.
"There are good things in store for this girl."
