Sold For Song was ridden quietly as usual and remained in second last place in the ten-horse field until nearing the home turn. She went to the extreme outside rounding the home turn, put in a strong run (near the outside rail) to take the lead at the 100m prior to going on for a very smart win. Salamanzar was sixth, between runners, got a split to challenge at the 200m and kept fighting gamely for a very good second. The favourite Tsaritsa drifted back in the early stages to settle in last place in the ten-horse field. She remained there until nearing the home turn, looked for a split at the 300m and got through to challenge at the 200m. She then kept fighting gamely for a close-up third.
