Three-year-old colt Turfane, who impressed in making up good ground when fourth to It Is Written (Written Tycoon) in Listed class over 1200m at Moonee Valley on 6 February, broke through here for his first win in ten starts, doing so in good style. He settled seventh and was blocked until Damian Lane got a split between runners nearing the home turn. He hit the lead at the 200m and went on to win decisively by just over a length.
