Kutchinsky raced in about eighth place one off the rails approximately seven lengths from the leader, Tuscan Fire. He improved wide from the 600m, putting in a good run to get to third at the 300m, before running on resolutely to win by a length and half. Dame Claire raced outside the leader to the turn and continued to battle on for second after having every chance. The top weight Tuscan Fire led and set an average early pace. He got a nice break passing the 600m only to be run down nearing the post for a very honest third under 59kg. Unchain My Heart was last to the 600m, got a nice run through at the turn and ran on for a sound fourth, without looking a winning chance. *ANZ
