Split Lip showed terrific acceleration for a good win here. Drifting soon after the start she settling a distant fifth in the seven horse field. She made up some ground near the last corner to be in behind the pack, pulled wide then switched back to the rail upon straightening. Once balanced and with clear running she then flashed between runners to grab the lead inside the 50m to win drawing away. Luqyaa was widest turning in and ran on very well but could not withstand the finishing burst of the winner while Broadband was third on the last corner, pulled out and ran on well to grab third inside the last 50m.
