The short-priced favourite Settle Strada went straight to the lead and slowed the pace in the small six-horse field before dashing clear on turning for home. He was then untroubled and went on to win easily by almost three lengths making it four wins from as many starts this preparation. The staying mare Talent Show was back in fifth place and remained there to the home turn. She made up good ground, without threatening, to just grab second at the post, in a sound first-up effort. Miss Tipsy Topsycwas a handy third on the rails to the turn, got through to second at the 200m but was cut out of that placing in the last few strides to finish third. *ANZ
