The outsider Blue Ribbon score an upset victory, coming from seventh on the fence some ten to 12 lengths from the tearaway leader Court Pastoral. She commenced a long run from the 700m three wide to be challenging the leading three who justifiably were tiring before the home turn. She turned for home in second position travelling well, before taking the lead at the 200m. She battled strongly when in front and drew away to score by a little over a length. The favourite Star Fashion had her chance. She raced in fourth position many lengths from the leader in the run but she had a smooth passage into the race and only battled away at one pace to the line for second. Stella Lante chased the fast pace in third position. She was left in front when the first two tired approaching the home turn. She fought the whole way to the line for third. A good effort considering the early work she did in the run. *ANZ
