Fox Swift found a lovely trail from barrier two and sat third when they reached the course proper. At the 300m, space opened up when the field fanned and rider Mark Zahra had a great view of the line. He asked her the question and she responded well, accelerating to co-lead at the 200m and taking over by three-quarters at the 100m. Zahra kept her going and she had enough (a head) to hold on for her second win in five starts. Split Lip was wide all the way, had several lengths to make up at the 300m, but finished well, eating into the winner's lead over the final metres from Luqyaa, who flashed home late (outer) to just grab third in the last bound.
