Princess Posh, who was having her second start this preparation, staged a really good effort in taking out this Group 3 race, her second stakes success and her eighth win (ten placings) from 27 starts. She settled back in second last place in the 12-horse field, improved (deep) from the 700m, put in a good move from the 200m and finished well to grab a narrow win at the post. The favourite Savatiano enjoyed a good trip in third place, looked the winner when she dashed to the front shortly after turning for home, only to be caught nearing the post for (half-head) second. Invincible Gem raced in sixth place, moved up (wide out) rounding the home turn and kept fighting well to take third in a sound effort at her second run back. Lanciato, winner of this race last year, settled in last place, tracked up from the 600m, went deep on straightening and came with a late run for (1.4 lengths) fourth. Siege Of Quebec, who was resuming, was a handy fourth, moved up at the home turn, went to second at the 200m and then kept battling on under his top weight (59kg) for (1.8 lengths) fifth.
