Chairman's Stakes (G3)
Blue Diamond Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m) favourite, Extreme Choice resumed here and won most impressively. He was smartly away from barrier six in the seven-horse field and he worked a bit before crossing clearly to the lead at the 600m. He travelled strongly, increased his lead from the 300m and was eased down by Damien Oliver nearing the post to score brilliantly and in quick time (57.09). Highland Beat eased to settle in fifth place, one off the rails, following a solid pace. He moved up well on turning for home, got to third at the 200m and kept battling on well to take second, having no chance with the winner. Chatwick showed pace to be a handy third, moved up (under riding) rounding the home turn, went to second at the 200m and then held on well for third, putting up a really promising effort on debt.
