The favourite Overreach began quickly from her good barrier (1) and settled behind the leader (Kuroshio) before getting inside that runner on straightening. She took the lead at the 300m, eased wider looking for better going, then went on to win easily by a length and three quarters. Sidestep was about eighth on the rails, following the eventual winner, trailed her through from the 300m, getting to third at the 200m then fought on nicely for second. Sweet Idea raced outside the leader, challenged shortly after straightening and battled on well for a sound third, beaten two and three quarter lengths. Guelph was about tenth on the rails to the 600m, got a run between runners at the 300m and ran on for fourth. Fast ‘N’ Rocking went back to last from his wide barrier. He was extremely wide from the 400m and ran on very well for fifth, giving the indication that the longer three-year-old events at the carnival should suit him, as too, Criterion who was slowly away and past mid-field to the turn before running on nicely for a good sixth. The New Zealand filly Ruud Awakening raced well back from her outside barrier (16) went wide at the home turn but failed to run on, finishing fifteenth. *ANZ
