Having his first attempt at black type level Global Exchange graduated with flying colours with a big win here. He began fairly but soon drifted through the field to settle second last, remaining there down the back and down the side sitting one off the fence. At the 500m jockey Ben Melham woke him up and he accelerated quickly yet very wide to get handy just before the last corner, set after the leaders upon straightening then chimed in at the 200m. Inside the 200m he surged clear and kept pulling away to be two and a quarter lengths up at the line and a super win, his third in five starts. Cossetot sat fourth (rails) down the side, cruised into second just before straightening and took over at the 250m. He was caught a few strides later and could only watch the winner streak away while fighting well for his second. Aramayo tried to go with the winner from the top of the straight and finished well late take third from D'Grammy who was third turning in then battled well to hold a close up fourth.
