Relishing the wet track Jungle Edge had them under pressure in the straight and topped the million with his 14th win (fourth stakes). From a wide barrier (13) and top weight, he bounced out well to lead early but was headed on the inner only to take over again at the 600m. Hugging the rail into the straight rider Kevin Forrester sat quietly yet Jungle Edge, thriving in the conditions, raced clear by four lengths at the 300m, by five at the 200m and four at the 100m but the damage was done and he had a length and quarter to spare at the line. Shiraz was midfield in the pack at the 400m, emerged through the middle and went after the winner but the winner's break was too much to make up. Second last and wide turning in, favourite I Thought So ran on without chance for a distant third from Glenall who came out of the pack to grab fourth near the line.
