In a one-two-three result for leading trainer Chris Waller, lightly raced British-bred gelding McCreery took his record to four wins from ten starts. He settled back in second last sixth place in the eight-horse field, following a reasonable pace (first 1000m 61.17). He got along the rails at the home turn, challenged at the 200m, hit the front shortly afterward and went on to win comfortably. It was a good ride by Tommy Berry. Marenostro raced outside the leader (Zero To Ten), briefly got to the front at the 200m and battled on well for a very good second, especially as he conceded 5kg to the winner. Top weight (62kg) Junoob settled in last place, improved (wide) from the 700m and kept running on well in the centre of the track for a good third.
