Beau Rada settled past midfield, three wide with cover. He moved up (deep) rounding the home turn and put in a good run to challenge at the 200m. He then battled gamely, finishing a bit too strongly to win by a half neck at the post, putting up a good first-up effort. Neat And Tidy raced outside the leader (Aagas), got to the front at the 200m and fought on well for a sound second. Hostile Witness was a handy sixth but trapped wide without any cover. She improved (still deep) at the turn, put in a run at the 200m and battled on for a close-up third. Volontiers caught the eye running on from last to finish fourth, putting up a promising effort on debut. *ANZ
