The Wakeful Stakes (Gr 2, 2000m) winner Luvaluva, who was having her second run since fourth in the VRC Oaks (Gr 1, 2500m) in November, staged a good effort in winning here. She settled in eighth place, between runners, angled into clear running at the 200m, took a moment to wind up but then came with a strong finish to grab victory nearing the post, looking on track for the upcoming ATC Australian Oaks (Gr 1, 2400m). Torvill raced in fifth place, between runners, improved nicely nearing the home turn, got to a narrow lead nearing the 100m, only to be caught in the last few strides for second. Wedgie had a good trip, fourth (one out and one back), challenged at the 200m and fought on really well for a close up third. Rimraam travelled nicely in fifth place on the rails, got into clear running on straightening and then battled on quite well for fourth after seeming to have had every chance.
