Coming off a seven week break and a win in last month's Perth Cup (Gr.2, 2400m), Star Exhibit outclassed this field with an easy win, his eleventh and fifth stakes. He was one of the first away but at the 1600m found the desirable one out, one back position, maintaining that spot at both the 1200m and 800m. Jockey William Pike had him cruising approaching the last corner, eased another width wider turning in then ran up to the two leaders at the 200m. He took over, drew clear then eased down yet was out by a length and half at the line. Let's Twist led them down the back and around the last corner, was caught to co-lead into the straight then was headed but fought back well to grab second right at the post. Cappo D'Oro caught the leader at the top of the straight and looked to hold second but was nutted on the line. Like A Butterfly tracked the winner into the straight and finished quite well to be in a good line up for the minors, narrowly fourth.
