The Michael Freedman-trained filly Teaspoon is now unbeaten after two starts, following her debut win at Canterbury on 5 November with another good win here. She was quickly away from her wide barrier (10) and worked a bit in the early stages before crossing to the lead. She was then able to steady the pace before being challenged on turning for home. She then fought back gamely, holding on to score well. Mystic Empire led in the early stages, eased to race in second spot before moving up to challenge nearing the home turn. She then kept fighting on well for a good second. Sweet Deal raced in fifth place, but caught deep. She moved up (wide) coming to the home turn, challenged at the 300m and kept fighting gamely for a close up and good third after a difficult trip.
