Lightly raced five-year old mare Elegant Composure took her record to seven wins from nine starts with a good first up win in this Listed race, her first success at stakes level. She settled well in fourth place from her good barrier (3), got a split at the home turn, raced clear at the 200m and then held on to win in good style. The favourite Private Secretary put up a very smart effort. She was eased from her outside barrier (14) and remained in last place in the 14-horse field to the home turn. She commenced a wide move at the 300m and then came with a strong finish for a very good second, her difficult barrier proving costly. Beatniks settled in tenth place, on the rails, got between runners at the 300m and then ran on nicely for a good third.
