Peter and Paul Snowden-trained gelding Military Zone took his record to three wins from six starts, his first at stakes level, in winning in good style here. He was ridden quietly by James McDonald and settled back in eighth place in the 11-horse field, behind a solid tempo, before improving (deep) nearing the home turn. He then ran on strongly, hit the front halfway down the straight and went on to score impressively. Terminology had a good trip in fourth place, went to third at the home turn and kept fighting on well for second, having no chance with the winner. Tell Me raced outside the leader (Rosina Kojonup) at a quick tempo, got to the front on straightening and held on well for third, just in front of Paquirri, who made ground from seventh for (2.9 lengths) fourth with Rosina Kojonup (3.4 lengths) fifth after leading into the home straight.
