Hi World was quickly away and went straight to the front. He then travelled well in the lead and fought back gamely whenchallenged in the straight, holding on well to score by a short neck. Farolitos raced outside the leader, challenged strongly at the 200m and kept fighting on for (short neck) second. Inauguration was fifth on the rails, angled into clear running on straightening and then battled on for a sound third, beaten just under three lengths. Supara raced behind the leader and appeared to have every chance before finishing (4.2 lengths) fourth.
