Melt made a big impression with an easy win here, putting the race away with 150m to run. She began quickly (barrier 4) but was soon outpaced to drop back to fifth when they settled.

Rider Michael McNab held the rails into the home straight but into the straight a nice gap appeared on their outer so he moved out, moved forward to challenge, cruised up alongside the leaders at the 200m then surged clear to win easily by more than three lengths.

There was a good line up for the minors with Bit Lippy running on doggedly the length of the straight to just grab second on the line, a half head in front of Flaunt It Girl, who was handy enough into the straight but lost interest only to fight back late for a good third.

A nose back in fourth was Pinot Grey who led at the 200m and fought on but was cut down late.
