Robert Smerdon-trained filly Chabaud put up a really good effort in winning. She was eased from her outside barrier (15) and settled a distant last in the 15-horse field. She improved (wide out) from the 800m, challenged strongly (widest of all) rounding the home turn, hit the front at the 200m and then went on to score quite comfortably in a most impressive staying performance. Sweet Redemption, from the Gai Waterhouse stable, settled nicely from her good barrier (3) in fourth place on the rails, got into clear running on turning for home and fought well for a good second, having no chance with the winner. Electric Aura had a nice trip in third place, moved up nearing the nearing the home turn, challenged on straightening and then battled well to hold the minor placing.
