Consistent Tony Gollan-trained four-year-old I'm A Rippa, recent winner of the BRC Sprint (Gr 3, 1350m) staged another good effort in winning here. He showed his customary pace to lead, was headed halfway down the straight but rallied to score a narrow but game win. The favourite Tyzone had a nice trip from his good barrier (3) racing in fifth place on the rails before Jeff Lloyd got him along the inner to hit the front in the straight and, after looking the winner, he then fought on for a close second. Privlaka was slowly away and raced back in ninth place before getting along the rails in the straight. He then fought on to hold third. Bassett was smartly away, settled in third place on the rails, challenged coming to the home turn and then kept battling on quite well for (2.7 lengths) fourth.
