Phillip Stokes-trained filly Serenely Discreet was impressive in winning here. She went back from her wide barrier (11), settled in second last place in the 15-horse field, went widest of all at the 400m and then came with a strong late finish in the centre of the track to win well, her third win in five starts to date and her first at stakes level. Bella Sorellastra also went back from a wide barrier (14) and raced in last place, she went deep at the 300m and finished on in good style for second. Waterloo Sunset settled in 12th place, got a split at the 200m to be in a challenging position shortly afterwards and then fought well for third. The favourite Exocet disappointed. She was tenth, between runners, angled into clear running at the 200m but only ran on fairly well from that point to finish (5.6 lengths) eighth.
