Former West Australian-raced Cool Passion drove through the pack in great style to win narrowly but convincingly, for her ninth win in 18 starts. She was fourth in behind the pace down the side, lost her position near the last corner to be in heavy traffic but once into the straight threaded between runners to force her way to the lead just short of the line. There was good line up for the minors with Pedrena, well back upon straightening, storming home down the outer for a fast-finishing second, just a neck away. Princess Of Queens came from near last down the side to looking like the winner at the 100m but was nutted late from Miss Gunpowder, who looked a chance at the 100m but faded slightly for a close-up fourth.
