In an exciting finish, the Tony Gollan-trained filly Perudo grabbed victory by a very narrow margin, her second win and her first at stakes level. Resuming here, she was smartly away and raced in third place on the rails before taking a splint nearing the 100m. She grabbed lead shortly afterwards and then held on to score in a photo. Gem Of Scotland settled back in 11th place, tracked up (deep) coming to the home turn, switched out on straightening and then put in a strong finish a close second, her first defeat in five starts. Niedorp, a stablemate of the winner, raced outside the leader (Betaima), went to the front on turning for home and the fought gamely for a close up third. Written With Ease was handy most of the way and held on for fourth while the favourite California Zimbol was trapped very wide all the way from her difficult barrier (15) and then held on for (2.2 lengths) fifth after having a hard run.
