The Ciaron Maher and David Eustace-trained filly Away Game, somewhat of a surprise winner in starting at $41, recorded a most impressive performance in scoring here at her third race start after taking out the Calaway Gal Stakes (Listed, 1110m) at Doomben at her second start last month. She began well from a wide barrier (12) and travelled well in seventh place (wide with cover) before moving up well (deep) rounding the home turn. She then sprinted quickly, hit the front at the 200m and then drew away to score clearly. Stellar Pauline settled back in ninth place, improved (wide) on turning for home and kept making good ground to take second, her third such placing in three starts. Conceited raced in 12th spot to the home turn, made a very wide move at the home turn and then ran on well to take third. Wisdom Of Water was slowly away and settled near the tail of the field. He eased deeper and into clear running at the 300m and then made good ground for (2.4 lengths) fourth. King's Legacy settled in tenth place, between runners, and then steadily made ground in the straight to finish (2.5 lengths) fifth. The winner's stablemate Rathlin was near last to the home turn and caught the eye with his late closing (2.6 lengths) sixth. Of the others, the favourite Aim settled in ninth place on the rails, got along the inner in the straight but disappointed over the latter stages in finishing (4.3 lengths) eighth, Every Rose missed the start, was checked in the straight and did well in making late ground for (4.4 lengths) ninth while Farnan had a good trip in fifth spot but just battled on in the straight for (4.5 lengths) tenth.
