The Neville Parnham-trained filly Ellicazoom is now the winner of both starts since resuming. She enjoyed a good trip and after beginning well, she was third early on before racing in fourth (with cover) from the 600m. She put in a good run from the 200m, hit the front at the 50m before drawing clear to win with something in hand. The favourite Caipirinha went to the front, steadied the pace (first 800m 48.47), grabbed a good break shortly after turning for home and was only headed at the 50m before battling back for a good second. Samovare was ninth (wide) in the early stages, improved from the 600m, put in a run from the 300m and then kept making ground, without threatening, to take the minor placing, looking suited to further.
