The Goulburn-trained filly Eckstein followed her promising first up fourth in the Denise’s Joy Stakes (Listed, 1100m) at Scone on 13 May to score a good win here. She settled nicely in fifth place on the rails from her inside barrier (1), got through on the inner to take the lead at the 200m and she then battled too well to score well. Egyptian Symbol raced in seventh place, commenced her run on straightening, got to fourth at the 200m and kept running on for a very good second. Sold For Song settled back in 11th place, put in a good run (in the centre of the track) from the 300m and kept finishing well for a good third. Miss Debutante was quickly away, went to the front and led the field until the 200m, holding on for (2.5 lengths) fourth while the favourite Raiment settled in third place, but caught wide without cover from her difficult barrier (12). She then held on in the straight for (3.8 lengths) fifth.
