Sewreel settled midfield past the judge and her position remained the same around the far bend. She slid off the rail down the back and starting the home bend moved up to be closer. With good momentum she gathered in the leaders and was ready to pounce once they straightened. Although four wide, she balanced and ranged up to the leaders inside the 300m and in two strides took over. Maritimo tried to go with her but Sewreel was full of running and drew clear under hands and heels.

Maritimo was fifth, one off the fence, down the back. She moved into third and had a perfect sit as they approached the straight where she briefly held the lead but was soon passed by the winner. She ran on best of the rest but was no match for the winner.

All In Vogue was second last into the straight, pulled out widest and stormed home late to nab third.
