Talented mare Kenedna took her record to nine wins (seven placings) from 26 starts in recording her second victory at the elite level here. She was given a good trip by John Allen in eighth place, angled for a split on straightening, got along the inner to take the lead coming to the 100m and then fought back for a very good win. It was also a very good ride by Allen. Life Less Ordinary raced in last place in the 16-horse field, improved between runners coming to the home turn, got a split at the 200m and then ran on really well for second. Sixties Groove settled near the tail of the field, improved (deep) at the home turn and then ran on well to take the minor placing. Gem Song had a good trip, tracking the free-running leader (Archedemus) and kept fighting on for (1.4 lengths) fourth. Luvaluva was back in 12th place, made a wide move approaching the home turn and then fought on for fifth, beaten just under a length, in a sound effort, while Shillelagh settled in 11th place and made late ground for (2.1 lengths) sixth without ever looking like winning.
