Sertorius enjoyed a perfect trip from his inside barrier in sixth on the rails. He improved nicely along the rails to be fourth nearing the 800m. He continued along the rails, got to the lead at 200m point and drew clear for a comfortable two lengths win. Epingle was a handy third, one off the rails, all the way to the turn. She put in a good run approaching the home turn and challenged strongly in the straight before battling on for a very good second, putting up a particularly good effort. Queenstown led, setting a reasonable pace. She picked up the tempo nearing the 600m and established a good break coming to the turn. She was not headed until passing the 200m and did well in holding on for sound third. The favourite Precedence ($3.40) was eighth to the 800m, went wide from the 600m but was under pressure from the home turn. He then failed to run on in the straight and finished a disappointing sixth, beaten five lengths. *ANZ
