Capitalist made a most impressive winning debut. He settled nicely in sixth place, one off the rails, moved up easily on turning for home, dashed to the front (without any pressure from Blake Shinn) at the 200m and then drew clear with score with plenty in hand, and in quick time (57.09). He looks a quality colt. His stablemate Detective was fifth on the rails, went between runners rounding the home turn, got a split going to third at the 200m before fighting on well for second. Prized Icon was back in eighth place on the rails, was eased deeper at the 300m, went to fourth at the 200m and continued to run on well for a very promising third. Cohesion travelled well in fourth place, improved well rounding the home turn, briefly hit the front at the 300m before battling on to finish (4.8 lengths) fourth.
