In a surprise result, outsider Overplay claimed his first stakes success and his second win in seven starts. He began well and settled in third place on the rails from his inside barrier (1). He got a split at the 200m, took the lead at the 100m and then fought back to win nicely, seemingly appreciating the Soft 5 conditions. Double You Tee raced in fifth place on the rails, improved between runners nearing the home turn, then kept running on solidly (wide out) for a late-closing second. Pateena Arena settled in eighth place before moving up (wide) nearing the 600m. She went deep on straightening and kept making ground to take the minor placing in a photo from the Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott-trained filly Chain Of Fools who was checked early on before settling at the tail of the 11-horse field. She was then under riding coming to the home turn before responding over the closing stages, making late ground for fourth, looking somewhat unlucky. The short-priced favourite Mister Songman, a winner of four of his first five prior starts, led the field to the home turn but faded over the latter stages for fifth.
