The Andrew Noblet-trained mare Super Cash, a noted good first up performer has now won four of her five starts when resuming and she went well in scoring here. She settled in fourth place (one out and one back), behind a good pace. She moved up on straightening, challenged at the 200m and fought on a bit too well to score in a photo. Illustrious Lad raced outside the leader (Sheidel), got to the front at the 200m and battled gamely for second, also going well at his first start this preparation. Rock Magic raced in second last place in the eight-horse field, went wide on turning for home and fought nicely for a close-up third. Of the others: Hellbent was last to the home turn before coming with a late run for (0.8 lengths) fourth, Sheidel led the field until the 200m and held on for (1.2 lengths) fifth while multiple Group One winner Lankan Rupee had a good trip in third place on the rails and held on for (2 lengths) sixth.
