Grand Tycoon maintained his unbeaten record making it five for five with a workmanlike performance. He began well and settled outside the leader (Gee Gees Style) before applying the pressure to that horse on straightening. He drew to the lead at the 100m then held off his stablemate (Geegees Velvet) to win by a short neck. Geegees Velvet was seventh on the rails in the eight-horse field to the 400m. She angled for a run on straightening and got a nice run through to be third at the 100m then battle on well for a sound second. Gee Gees Style began well from his good barrier (1) and he went straight to the lead, setting the pace to the home turn and fighting back well for third, beaten one and a half lengths.
