Alligator Blood took his imposing record to eight wins from nine starts with an excellent performance here. He travelled well for Ryan Maloney in sixth place, one off the rails, before moving up strongly nearing the home turn. He then took the lead at the 200m and then drew away to score by two lengths and in quick time (1:20.98). Eleven Eleven put up another good effort in running second, his third place in succession behind the talented winner. He settled in fourth spot after crossing from his wide barrier (15), moved up well coming to the home turn, challenged at the 200m and then fought well for a very good second. Exhilarates settled in ninth place and kept making ground in the straight to take the minor placing from Hightail who steadily made ground from 11th at the home turn for (3.8 lengths) fourth.
