Frolic, aided by a clever ride by Tommy Berry, was an impressive winner. Ridden quietly she remained a clear last to the home turn. She was taken very deep on passing the 300m, swept to the front (in the better ground on the outside rail) at 100m and then drew away to score easily. She Will Reign had a good trip in third place, one off the rail and tracked the leader (From Within) nearing the home turn. She looked the winner when she went to the front at the 200m. But had no answer to the lateclosing winner (in the better going) to take a very sound second, her first defeat in four starts. Villa Carlotta was fifth, one off the rails, went to fourth at the 200m and kept battling on well to take the minor placing.
