Assertive Eagle was eased from her wide barrier (10) and raced just past midfield, three wide but with cover. She was still well back on rounding the home turn, where she was switched to the centre of the track. She then put in a great finishing dash to win going away by just over a length at the post. The favourite Just Discreet ($4.50) also went back from a wide draw (11) and raced just behind the eventual winner at the tail of the 13-horse field. She went very wide on straightening and came home solidly for a good second, beaten length and quarter. Embark was about seventh between runners in a packed field at the 600m point. She eased across heels getting into the clear at the 300m and then kept fighting on quite nicely to take third. *ANZ
