Tasmanian raider Mystic Journey, at her third start in Melbourne, made the trip across the Bass Strait worthwhile with a nice win here, her fifth in total and second stakes in eight starts. She began well to be a handy third, two out, yet was shuffled back a couple of spots down the side then recovered slightly to be in behind the leaders turning for home. Rider Anthony Darmanin saw a split at the 300m and drove her through. She ranged alongside the leader at the 100m then raced clear for a decisive win. Spanish Whisper sat third, three wide at the 500m, took over at the 300m and looked the winner but was outgunned over the last 100m. Tahitian Dancer finished well along the fence from midfield for a good third from Krone, who was very wide turning in and kept on solidly for fourth.
