Extreme Choice remains unbeaten after three starts, putting up an outstanding effort in winning here after a difficult trip. He went forward from barrier 11 but was trapped three wide without cover in sixth place. He moved up (still caught deep) rounding the home turn, dashed to the front approaching the 200m and went to win impressively, and in fast time (1:08.95).

Stablemate Flying Artie was also caught very wide from his difficult barrier (15), settled back in 13th place (wide out). Improved widest of all rounding the home turn, sprinted quickly going to second on passing the 200m and fought very well for an second in an outstanding effort after a hard run.

Zamzam did best of the seven fillies in the field. Racing in blinkers for the first time, she raced back in tenth place, between runners, switched across heels and into clear running at the 200m and then finishing nicely for a really good third.

Power Trip was back in 12th place, went deep on turning for home and ran on well for (6.9 lengths) fourth, putting up a nice effort.

Star Turn was seventh, wide with cover, was under riding at the home turn and kept battling on quite well for (7.2 lengths) fifth.

Sweet Sherry was midfield a wide after starting from barrier 14, went deep at the home turn and did well in finishing (7.6 lengths) sixth while the more fancied fillies Concealer disappointed in finishing (10 lengths) ninth, as too Samara Dancer who weakened to finish (15 lengths) 14th.
