Kulgrinda scored a narrow victory after racing on the back of the speed sixth between runners before finishing on gamely in the middle of the track to grab a narrow win right on the post. Platelet ran a big race in defeat. She raced on the speed and stayed closer to the fence cornering well clear. She was left a sitting shot in front and just tired in the final strides and was game in defeat having maybe gone for home a little early. Avoid Lightning raced very wide without cover in midfield. She was very wide on cornering but finished on gamely to be closet at the line. She covered a lot of extra ground in the run. *ANZ
