Snippets Land was ridden quietly from his wide barrier (9) and settled back in ninth place in the 13-horse field, following a solid pace. Blake Shinn switched him around heels rounding the home turn, he then sprinted quickly to challenge on passing the 100m. He then finished too well, to grab a good win at the post, being suited by the quick early tempo. The favourite Religify showed his pace to lead but was pressured in the mid-stages (by Coolring), before getting a break on straightening. He was only headed nearing the post, putting up a really good performance after his early efforts. Second favourite Artlee had a good trip in fifth place, between runners, before improving nicely at the home turn. He briefly looked a threat at the 200m, but he tired a bit on that effort, still holding on quite well for third.
