With a good staying effort here, the promising Grand Chancellor may well be headed for next month's South Australian Derby (Gr 1, 2500m). He began well but drifted to midfield (one out) passing the 1200m. He inched closer inside the 600m, ran up four wide approaching the last corner and co-led at the 250m. Things became a little crowded but he balanced and ran on best in a fighting finish to score. Odeon had a lovely run to be fourth approaching the last corner, tried for a gap (which then closed) at the 250m then squeezed through to challenge but was outgunned in the last 50m. Domesticated flew home wide out late to grab third.
