The lone filly of the field, Yankee Rose was ridden quietly by Dean Yendall and settled well back in eighth place, one off the rails behind a steady tempo (first 1400m in 1:27.51) before fanning deep at the 300m. She then produced a great finishing burst to overwhelm her male rivals to score her second Group One victory in seven starts in impressive style. Swear began well and settled in fourth place. He moved up nicely nearing the home turn. He looked the winner when he challenged at the 200m but could not hold off the late-closing winner to take a good second. Prized Icon was fourth on the rails, got along the inner from the 200m and fought gamely for a third, missing second by the barest of margins. Veladero raced in second place, briefly got to the front at the 300m and then battled on to hold (1.5 lengths) fourth.
