Away well from barrier two to lead, Fix dictated the pace, travelled strongly rounding the home turn and she remained very genuine in her run to the line. Soriano lacked the tactical speed to trail the winner from barrier three, settling three back on the inner. Held up in the straight, she had to switch ground to the inside at the 200m and mounted a strong finish for second. More Than Sacred received a lovely trip in fourth on the outer and made a good impression with her finish for third, ahead of Kidwelly who trailed the winner. Catalma tracked the rail in the straight, from ninth in running, and finished solidly for fifth.*ANZ
