Peggy Jean again did not show much early pace and settled back in eighth place on the rails. She was travelling well coming to the 600m, Nash Rawiller steered her nicely between runners on straightening, she grabbed the lead at the 200m and then battled gamely to score by half a length, running the 1400m out well. She is an attractive and classy filly. Scratch Me Lucky was sixth on the rails, got an inside run on turning for home and hit the lead at the 200m. He then fought back gamely for a very good (half length) second. Cornrow had a good trip, fourth between runners, dropped back to fifth on turning for home and then battled on to take third. Time For War began well today and went to the lead. He eased wide (after better going) rounding the home turn and held on fairly well for fourth, beaten six and a half lengths. Zululand plugged on fairly well for fifth while the favourite Believe Yourself raced well below her good form, dropping out for a distant tenth in the Heavy 9 conditions. *ANZ
