Miss Steele jumped away well and travelled nicely in third spot, following a good pace. She was held up for a clear run at the turn but Luke Nolen found a gap at the 100m and she drove through to win nicely for a soft win at the post, scoring by a length. Top weight Magnaro raced in fourth place before moving up three wide, under riding, approaching the home turn. He kept responding to challenge at the 100m but could not hold off the late closing winner who had the benefit of 2.5kg, battling on well for second. Romancingthestone ($2.90 favourite) was ridden hard from her good barrier (1) to hold the lead.After being pressured early, she pinched a break on straightening but that effort told and she tired in the closing stages for third, beaten a length and half. *ANZ
