With a big win over subsequent Group 1 winner Scales Of Justice at Group 3 level heading into this, Dalasan had too many guns over a talented field to take his record to four wins (now two stakes) in five starts. He was away well and sat second a length back of the leader to the crossing. He was given a shake inside the 400m, caught the leader at the 150m, had a brief tussle and then eased to the line with plenty in hand by a widening three quarters of a length. Dubious led from the outset, had more than a length lead at the 400m and was not caught until the 150m, then fought well when headed for second. Express Pass was last at the 400m and kept up a solid run without looking to catch the first two, taking third late from Sebrakate, who battled away.
