Widgee Turf is compiling a good record, now eight wins from 16 starts (seven wins in Melbourne) and five wins in his last six races but this is his maiden stakes win, putting up a super performance at the same time. He dropped out to last early and was a clear last down the side. He began his run at the 450m, pulling very wide and was deepest when they straightened. Rider Billy Egan asked the question and the four-year-old flew down the centre of the track, gathered them in with just 40m to run and had three quarters of a length to spare at the line for a really good win. Turnitaround was sixth (one off the fence) entering the straight, barged through in tight quarters at the 100m and looked the winner but did not see the flyer out in the middle of the track. Ken's Dream had plenty to do at the top of the straight but kept on strongly to the line for a good third from Steel Frost who also flashed home late in a crowded finish for fourth.
