In a three-way finish, the Tony Gollan-trained four-year-old I'm A Rippa recorded his first stakes win in 24 starts in taking out this Group Three race. He began well and soon went to the front and travelled well under Jeff Lloyd. He was challenged on turning for home but kept responding to Lloyd's riding to hold on and win by a short neck in a game effort. Privalaka raced in fifth place (three deep) before moving up smartly to challenge at the 200m. He then kept battling gamely for a good second. Mr Sneaky settle midfield, between runners, improved rounding the home turn, went to fourth at the 200m and kept running on nicely for a close-up third. The favourite Test The World had a good trip behind the leader from his inside barrier (1) and looked to have had every chance before finishing (6.3 lengths) sixth.
