The Blue Diamond Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m) winner Extreme Choice resumed at only his fourth race start to take out this Group One weight-for-age race in impressive fashion. He was ridden patiently from his outside barrier (9), settled in second last place, improved well (deep) rounding the home turn, sprinted quickly to hit the front at the 50m and then drew clear for a very good win. Heatherly settled in fifth place (on the rails), following a solid pace, before getting between runners nearing the home turn. She challenged at the 100m and then fought well for a good second, although having no chance with the winner in the closing stages. Wild Rain raced in fourth place, one out and one back, put in run coming to the home turn and then battled on well for a good third. Chautauqua settled at the tail of the nine-horse field. He was urged to improve from the 600m. Went very deep rounding the home turn and then ran on quite well for a sound (3.1 lengths) fourth, without producing his expected brilliant finishing dash at his first run this preparation. Buffering showed his customary pace and worked hard but could not cross to the front and settled outside the leader (Ball Of Muscle). He moved up well nearing the home turn and then fought well for (3.2 lengths) fifth, in a sound first up performance. Ball Of Muscle worked hard to hold the lead and set the pace until nearing the 100m before finishing (3.4 lengths) sixth.
