Twice a winner on heavy tracks, including here at Rosehill a year ago, Liapari caused something of an upset, flying the last 50m to get up on the line. He broke as well as any but soon drifted to settle fourth to last (rails) passing the 1000m. At the 600m he still sat well back, locked away on the fence and turned for home giving the leader five or six lengths. With plenty of racing room jockey Jay Ford eased him three widths from the rail improving to be fourth at the 200m, seemed flat at the 100m, accelerated into second at the 50m then flew the last few strides to grab an exciting win, his seventh and maiden stakes win. Dreamforce sat second before straightening, was alongside the leader at the 300m before taking over at the 200m and looked the clear winner only to be nutted in the last stride. Flow was third, one off the fence, turning in, ranged up at the 300m, moved into second at the 200m where he looked to have second sewn up but was also swamped by the winner. Favourite Jungle Edge led them turning in and co-led at the 300m then fought on well to hold fourth.
