Transporter was away well from the gates and was taken forward by Jim Bryne to settled in second position on the outside of the leader Elusive Storm, who ran along in front. He loomed up on cornering and took the lead at the 300m. He found plenty under pressure and drew right away to score well. A sound effort. Choice Bro ran well in defeat. He raced in fourth position one off the fence. He cornered three wide in the clear on the outside of the winner. But he could not match the turn of foot of the winner and stayed on at one pace to be a clear second. *ANZ
