The Peter and Paul Snowden-trained colt Rulership, a $900,000 purchase at the 2019 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sales, was highly impressive in winning here on debut. After beginning smartly, he went to the front and then travelled nicely at quite a good pace before dashing clear at the 200m. He then went on to score effortlessly, sprinting home his final 600m in a fast 33.61. The Gerald Ryan-trained colt Mission River was slowly away and after being second last early on, he recovered to race in sixth place, wide with cover and going a bit keenly. He moved up well on straightening, went to second at the 200m and then fought on well to hold that position in a promising effort on debut. Ticket To Ride was ridden patiently after being caught deep and settled in second last place. She moved up deep rounding the home turn, improved well at the 200m and then kept battling on strongly for a good third in a sound first-up effort at her second race start. The Anthony Cummings-trained filly Fayerra, a $81 outsider, was eased from a wide barrier, settled in last place in the ten-horse field, was widest of all at the home turn and then did very well in making good ground to finish (3.8 lengths) fourth, staging a smart effort at her second race start while Mount Fuji, a $2.8m purchase at the 2019 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale, disappointed on debut. He began reasonably well, soon improved to race outside the leader, travelling too keenly, before tiring in the straight to finish last.
