Vivi Veloce, who had made good ground for fifth in her first two starts, appreciated the step up from 1100m to 1200m today. She settled seventh on the rails, switched out shortly after straightening and came with a late run to win going away by a long neck. Iconic was third on the rails, looked the winner when he took the lead at the 200m but could not hold off the winner in the closing stages finishing a sound second. The favourite The Huntress ($2.50) was fifth between runners and was blocked after turning into the straight. She got a split at the 100m but was soon crowded again and failed to get clear in running an unlucky third. Ziggler raced outside the leader (Typhoon) to the home turn and kept battling on quite well, holding on for fourth. *ANZ
