The least experienced runner, having just her ninth start, Ladies First began well from barrier 11 however rider Lisa Allpress allowed the four-year-old to settle midfield but three wide (with cover), where they remained until the 600m. Near the last corner the field fanned and Allpress, with plenty of room, went after the breakaway leader (Prince Mambo). Once balanced, Ladies First cruised up alongside the leader and soon after ran clear, increasing the margin with every stride to win very convincingly.

Slimline was second last at the 600m, improved very wide turning in, tried to get on terms with the winner but had little chance, holding second well.

Zorrali was widest turning in and ran on without endangering the first two. Prince Mambo led, broke clear at the 500m and battled away when passed to hold fourth.
