Boomsara was impressive in winning here, taking his record to three wins and three placings (twice previously in Group class) from nine starts. He was quickly away from his wide barrier (12) and worked before crossing to the lead nearing the 800m. He then travelled well, dashed clear on straightening and went on to score by a big margin and in quick time. Pennino raced in fifth place to the home turn and kept running on to take second in a photo from Light Up The Room, who was handy on the rails most of the way before battling on well for third. The favourite Outback Barbie was caught deep from her outside barrier (14), settled in second last place and failed to get clear running until a very late stage and her (5.7 lengths) sixth should be overlooked.
