Jim’s Journey was not interested in utilizing a handy gate and dropped back to be last. Standing the leader a good ten lengths at the 600m, Jim’s Journey commenced a run that saw him range into contention at the 200 and sustain a big finish to win well. Also from back in the field, Turbo Street was flushed out when improving wide around the home bend and after sweeping up to lead at the 200m he fought hard for second. The first two were well clear of the remainder, headed by third placed Lady Sharapova who rallied well out of midfield.
