Julinsky Prince began well from barrier four and found a beautiful trail, one out and one back when Danza Lad elected to race past to sit outside the leader, (Allez Eagle), soon after they settled. Julinsky Prince held his position down the back and around the turn into the straight, then fanned three wide to make his run at the all-the-way leader Allez Eagle. At the 200m, those two drew clear with Julinsky Prince taking command inside the last hundred metres to win well by more than a length.

Allez Eagle led soon after the start and was not pressured until Julinsky Prince ranged at the 200m and fought well for a few strides before the winner edged clear.

Platinum Witness had three behind her at the 600m and a run did not present itself well into straight and she took time to wind up, then lunged in the last few strides to grab third but with no chance of overhauling the first two.

Shuka was equal last before the field straightened but wide, out in the middle of the track, and kept up a determined run, especially making up much ground in the last hundred metres but also much too late, for a slashing fourth.

Favourite Addictive Habit saved ground along the rails, running midfield until the turn but showed nothing in the run home.
