Wasabi Bob took his record to ten wins from 40 starts in recording his first stakes success and his third victory in succession in winning here. He raced outside the leader (Silent Warrior), got the better of that runner and went to the front at the 200m and then fought back gamely when challenged to win well. Excessabeel was a handy third on the rails, put in his bid at the 200m and then fought on for (long neck) second. Royal Rumble was back in last place in the nine-horse field approaching the home turn, got between runners on straightening and then kept battling on well to take third.
