First Impressions settled nicely in seventh place on the rails behind a very moderate tempo. She got along the rails on straightening going to third before being angled into the clear at the 200m. She then raced to the front at the 100m and then drew away to score comfortably. She ran the 2400m out well. The favourite Arcadia Dream, stablemate of the winner, had a good run in second place, moved up coming to the home turn, got to a narrow lead at the 200m and then battled on for second. She stood no chance with the winner. Culverin raced in sixth place before making a quick move (due to the lack of pace) to take the lead at the 800m. She then held on quite well in the straight to take the minor placing.
