Highly consistent mare Platelet travelled well, just behind the leaders, following a very moderate early pace (first 600m 37.33). She switched out to challenge nearing the 200m, took a narrow lead shortly afterwards then dashed home in a quick time (leaders clocking 32.86 last 600m) to win in good style by three quarters of a lengths. Spirit Of Boom was about midfield in the centre of the track to the 600m. He improved to be handy at the 400m and then battled gamely for a good second. Steps In Time led the field, slowing the tempo, until the 300m and then fought on quite well when challenged for a sound first-up third, beaten just under a length. Sessions raced close to the lead, on the rails side. He challenged passing the 300m and kept battling on for fourth, after seeming to have every chance. *ANZ
