Chris Waller-trained colt Accession followed his good win in the Inglis Nursery (RL, 1000m) at Randwick on December 15 with impressive victory here. He settled nicely for James McDonald in fourth place, between runners, got into clear running at the 300m and then sprinted quickly, hit the front at the 200m and drew away to score easily by almost five lengths. Godolphin-raced filly Avon River was eased from her outside barrier and raced in second last place, one off the rails, in the seven-horse field. She moved up deep on turning for home, went to fourth at the 200m and kept running on nicely to take second. Giselle Anne showed good pace to lead and led the field until nearing the 200m and then held on nicely for third. The favourite Igniting worked in the early stages before racing outside the leader (Giselle Anne), was under pressure at the 200m before tiring to finish (7.2 lengths) fourth.
