This G3 feature event on the day at WFA saw the leader Killarney win and prove once again the track was hot for on pacers all day. The winners and where they came from in race order were sixth (one-off the inside and six lengths from the leader), second (on the inside and three lengths from the leader), led (one off the inside and a length ahead), led (one-off the inside and two lengths ahead), led (one-off the inside and a neck in front), fourth (five-off the inside and two lengths from the leader), second (three-wide and a neck from the leader), led (on the fence and two lengths ahead) and second (one-off the inside and half a length from the leader). Killarney led up and never looked like being headed scoring by two and a half lengths and clocking 1:35.12 for the mile. It was his seventh win from twenty-five starts and was his first piece of Blacktype gained after coming close twice from six starts so far at the achievement level. He had finished fourth at Listed then at G3 level over November of 2019 and both times ran on from well back on settling. Shirley Maude trailed the winning leader and fought on for a distant second and gained her first Blacktype placing since a Listed third as a juvenile back in May of 2016. Belle Fascino ran a game third after being crowded early and settling well back before unleashing well the run home from eighth the inside turning for home. The mare took the short route home it needs to be highlighted before angling out late. She has had an enjoyable season in the South Island racking up three Blacktype placings (one at G3 and two at Listed level) and hit third here with 150m to run. Beneficial ran on soundly for fourth over four and a half lengths away after turning for home ninth and being angled out. He's Gold whacked away for fifth while the old timer plugged on late for sixth. A lot of runners got too far back on a day you could certainly not including the $2.60 favourite runner Who Dares Wins that got back on the inner and never fired. In a nine race card seven of the winners came from first or second turning for home, while one came from fourth and the first race saw the winner come from sixth.
