Fiumicino raced in second place behind the leader (Sky Raider), following a moderate pace, before getting an inside run from the 300m and take the lead nearing the home turn. He grabbed a good break on straightening and went on to win comfortably by three lengths. The favourite Motivado ($3.60) was fifth in the small six-horse field to the 600m and then went wide to improve. He kept plugging on well in the straight, getting to a distant second at the 200m, and just kept battling on to finish second, beaten three lengths. Vatuvei was last in the small field to the home turn and just kept plugging on in the straight to finish a distant third, without looking a winning prospect at any stage. *ANZ
