Nine-year-old Gundy Son broke through for his first win in almost two years in taking out this Listed event. He was very quickly away and led in the early stages before easing to enjoy a good trip in third place. He then got a rails run to challenge on straightening, took the lead nearing the 200m and stuck on for a gutsy long neck win. It was also a good ride by Tegan Harrison. Daph ‘N’ Alf raced outside the leader (Storm Crazy), took a narrow advantage at the 250m and then kept fighting on for (long neck) second. Kempelly was back in fourth place on the rails, went to third at the 150m and fought onto hold the minor placing after seeming to have every chance. The favourite Cum Dividend settled in seventh place on the rails from his inside barrier (1). He switched between runners on turning for home, got to fourth at the 150m and then battled on to finish (2.7 lengths) fourth while Little Brown Horse ran on from second last in the ten-horse field at the turn for a sound (2.8 lengths) fifth.
