Kementari is now unbeaten in all three starts this preparation and he capped his very promising young career by taking out this Group One race at his ninth start. He was settled nicely back in seventh place (one off the rails) behind a strong pace (first 1000m 59.00) before improving rounding the home turn. He then sprinted quickly, dashed to the front on passing the 200m and went on to score impressively. Pierata settled in fifth place on the rails from his inside barrier (1), improved between runners in the straight and kept fighting gamely for a very good second. Trapeze Artist showed good early pace and crossed to settle outside the leader (Condor) at a solid tempo (first 1000m 59.00). He briefly got to the front at the 300m and then did well in holding on to take third after his early efforts. Ace High settled in sixth place, one off the rails, made a wide move from the 600m to challenge at the 300m. He then kept battling on very well to finish (2.3 lengths) fourth in a good performance at his third start since winning the Victoria Derby (Gr 1, 2500m) in November. Siege Of Quebec settled in fourth place, made a wide move approaching the home turn and battled on well for (2.5 lengths) fifth.
