Raido caused an upset here, taking his record to seven wins (maiden stakes win) in a sustained finishing run. He was outpaced early and was under pressure and well back near the last corner but rider Matthew McGillivray kept him going, pulled very wide into the straight and relentlessly wore down the opposition, grabbing the lead just short of the post. Malvern Estate had the run of the race (rails), pulled wider into the straight and looked the winner until headed in the last few strides. When attempting his run Aqua Vite was jostled at the 300m, took a few strides to balance then flew hard between runners for an unlucky third from Man Of His Word who was second at the 100m but was swamped late for a close up fourth.
