Sweet Serendipity was first out and first home for his ninth win and maiden stakes win. He broke fastest from barrier four, led early and maintained a length lead to the last corner. Challenged on his inner and outer he kept up a solid run the length of the straight and perhaps won easier than his one length margin might suggest. Irish Constabulary was third (rails) near the last corner, hugged the rail into the straight and ran well yet never looked like getting to the winner, for a solid second. Mr Favulous tracked the winner (one out) into the straight, then held on quite well for third from the fast finish of Round Mountain Gal, who was last turning in, still last at the 200m and flashed home late.
