In His Stride began well but was outsped and drifted to settle fifth (midfield, rails) passing the 800m. Jockey James Orman pushed him forward to track the leader into the straight, gave him a shake at the 200m and they flashed through along the inner to take over at the 100m.They were travelling best at the line by more than a length, his sixth win (maiden stakes) and $627,850. Hi I'm Back led into the straight and almost to the 100m where he was collared by the winner but fought well to the line. Tisani Tomso lay third into the straight and kept on well without looking like a winner. Lauterbrunnen had every chance for fourth while favourite Amanaat, left standing in the stalls, was a late scratching after the stewards ruled that he was given no chance of a fair start.
