Having her fourth start and her second run this preparation, the Godolphin-raced filly Vivaro broke through with a very good win here. She was smartly away and soon went to the front. She then travelled a bit keenly, got a good break on turning for home and was not threatened from that point to win well. The Mark Newnham-trained colt Arthur In Charge raced in third place, one off the rails, was under pressure at the 200m but he then lifted and kept fighting on well to take second in a sound effort on debut. The favourite Covert Ops was slowly away, was last at the 600m, went deep at the home turn and made late ground (wide out) to take third.
