Mackintosh continues his good form, now winning four of his last five starts. He was well away again and settled really well in second place, tracking the leader (Unbreakable). He moved up strongly coming to the home turn, drew clear at the 200m and then fought back, lasting to win well. Eagle Way raced back in tenth place before switching deep at the home turn. He then maintained a solid finishing effort, just failing to catch the winner for a very good second in a good trial for the Queensland Derby (Gr 1, 2400m) on 11 June. SA Derby (Gr 1, 2500m) winner Howard Be Thy Name travelled well in sixth place, got along the inner at the 300m to challenge at the 200m. He then kept running on solidly for a close-up third in a good staying effort.
