After seconds at her last four starts, the Chris Waller-trained filly Firebird Flyer broke through for a deserved win. She settled back in fifth place in the seven-horse field behind a good tempo before making a quick (wide) move nearing the home turn. She took a narrow lead on straightening and then finished well for a narrow but promising win. Team Hawkes-trained Kingsguard was back in third place, made ground to be second at the home turn. He then fought well for a good second, just finding the winner a bit too good on the day.
