Tycoon Tara continued her good for since joining trainers Peter and Paul Snowden in scoring her third win of four starts for her new stable. She went to the front, steadied the early tempo (first 800m 48.81), grabbed a good break on straightening and was not threatened from that point to win well. Dixie Blossoms raced in second place all the way and did well in fighting on the hold that position to the post. Pearls travelled well in fourth place, went through to third on turning for home and battled on nicely to take the minor place. Denmagic was a handy third, put in a run at the 300m and held on well for a good (3 lengths) fourth. First Seal raced in fifth place, one off the rails, looked a threat at the 200m but battled from that point for (3 lengths) fifth, putting up a sound first up effort with her top weight (58kg) and it was noteworthy that she was racing without blinkers for the first time. Heavens Above raced in sixth place and made late ground in the sprint home for (3.5 lengths) sixth being disadvantaged by the lack of early pace.
