Hot favourite Almond Eye missed the start and had to settle in the middle of the pack.

When she was able to break through, Gran Alegria was already heading the field and putting the race to bed.  She won by 2 ½ lengths, and there was a great battle between Almond Eye and Indy Champ for the second money which went to Almond Eye.  Normcore ran a blinder and was in the photo and took fourth spot.  The three females in the race finished in the top four places.
