The Diamond One took up a handy position on the rails and had the perfect run all the way to the home straight. When the field fanned she had plenty of space to make her run up to the leader. At the 150m she surged to the front and looked to put the race away but had to withstand a late run from Tommy Tucker. The victory was the third White Robe’s in a row for the Tale Of The Cat mare.

Tommy Tucker was midfield rounding the bend, got off the fence before they straightened but ran into traffic. Once balanced, he kept finding and really motored over the last 100m just failing to overhaul the winner.

Illuminati lead around the bend and into the straight. While headed by the winner and late by Tommy Tucker, she fought hard all the way to the line for a good third.
