Cooldini settled well in fourth place despite the slow early tempo. He remained in that place to the turn and moved up shortly after straightening. He took the lead nearing the 200m and fought on nicely to win by a length, running the 2600m out well in a sound staying performance. Prince Of Penzance was ridden patiently being eased to settle in seventh place on the rails. He switched between runners nearing the turn and got into the clear on passing the 300m travelling very strongly to challenge shortly afterwards. He then kept fighting on under his top weight (58kg) for a sound second after being given every opportunity by Michelle Payne. Outback Joe was sixth, one off the rails, before moving up three wide near the 600m. He then kept plugging on in the straight for third, while Macedonian followed the latter most of the way and plugged on for fourth. *ANZ
