Maybe Discreet had to press forward in the early stages to avoid being trapped wide. At the 1200m she landed in an ideal spot third on the fence. On the turn she moved up to join the leaders and was travelling boldly. At the 400m she went to the front and accelerated smartly to skip clear by two lengths and establish a race-winning lead. Grand Daughter launched her bid early taking off at the 600m. Briefly looked a hope at top of the straight but was no match for the winner. She battled bravely into second. La Zuma was a huge performance. She really caught the eye with her effort to finish on strongly from well back and wide to finish third. This was a much improved performance by the daughter of Zabeel and she shows staying promise. Godspiel also impressed hitting the line strongly from last on the turn. *ANZ
