In-form mare Beirut made it five wins in succession, progressing to take out her first stakes success in winning this Group Three race. She showed good early pace and soon crossed to the lead. She then settled well, got a clear break nearing the home turn and then fought back well to score a very good win. Riziz was a handy third on the rails to the home turn. He got through to second at the 200m and battled very well to hold that position just finding the winner a bit too good. Rocket Commander was back in seventh place, between runners, before switching into clear running on straightening. He then kept fighting on quite well to take the minor placing. Second favourite Cavaloce settled in last place in the tenhorse field. She got between runners at the home turn, went deep on straightening and then made late ground for (2.2 lengths) fourth.
