Chris Waller-trained gelding Sambro followed his good win in the Hawkesbury Guineas (Gr 3, 1400m) on 28 April with a good performance in taking out this Group Three race. He settled in a good spot under Michael Walker racing in fourth place (one out and one back) behind a good tempo before improving nearing the home turn. He responded to riding to take the lead at the 100m and then fought back to win well. The favourite Seaway raced in sixth place, tracked the eventual winner rounding the home turn and kept making ground to take second, beaten a half-length. Magnufighter settled toward the tail of the 12-horse field, put in a wide move nearing the 200m and steadily made ground to take third. New Zealander Karisto raced in third place until into the home straight and held on for (1.9 lengths) fourth after seeming to have had every chance.
