The Godolphin-raced colt Kementari followed his impressive first-up win in the Eskimo Prince Stakes (Gr 3, 1200m) at Warwick Farm on 10 February with another very good win here. He was smartly away and then travelled well outside the leader (Trapeze Artist). He got the better of that horse and took the lead at the 200m and then went on to score a really smart win. Pierata raced back in sixth place, commenced his move on straightening and ran on very well for a good second in a promising effort, resuming after racing successfully in Queensland. D’Argento settled back in eighth place, was under riding on turning for home and then kept making ground for a good third, looking suited to further. Trapeze Artist was smartly away and led the field until halfway down the straight before finishing (1.6 lengths) fourth. Ace High was handily placed in fourth spot and kept battling well in the straight for (3.1) lengths) fifth at his second run since winning the Victoria Derby (Gr 1, 2500m) in November in a sound lead-up to the ATC Australian Derby (Gr 1, 2400m) while Luvaluva caught the eye running on from near the tail of the field for (4.8 lengths) sixth, looking on track for the ATC Australian Oaks (Gr 1, 2400m).
