The locally trained filly Houtzen remained unbeaten after three starts and staged an excellent effort in scoring here. She showed her now customary place and soon crossed from her outside barrier (16) to lead. She then travelled well in front, grabbed a break shortly after turning for home and fought back gamely to win, staging an impressive performance after working hard at a solid pace. Chauffeur settled back in 12th place, switched deep rounding the home turn, put in a strong run to challenge on passing the 100m and kept finishing well to take a very good second. Madeenaty was quickly away and raced in second place, tracking a quick pace. She then kept fighting on well in the straight, just lasting to hold the minor placing in a photo. Goodfella settled back in 14th place, improved between runners from the 300m and kept finishing on well for (2.9 lengths) fourth, in a most promising effort. Invader raced tenth place, on the rails, put in a run (between runners) at the 300m and kept fighting on well for (3 lengths) fifth. Invincible Star had a wide trip from her difficult barrier (13) racing in sixth place. She put in a run at the 300m and kept battling on nicely for (3.8 lengths) sixth while the well supported filly From Within raced in seventh place, between runners, was under riding as she switched to the rails on straightening but then just battled to finish (8.4 lengths) 13th.
