The smart filly Ichihara, carrying top weight of 58kg, was a little slow to move from barrier one and settled fifth on the rails. She got a nice run through at the turn then switched across heels on straightening before running on gamely for a narrow but impressive win. The previously unbeaten Heart Testa raced outside the leader Golden Sunshine, looked the winner when he drew to the lead at the 100m, and was only beaten a short neck at the post. Limes, who was having his first run since the Melbourne Spring Carnival, was last in the nine-horse field to the 600m, got an inside run on straightening and ran on well for a good first-up third. Consistent filly Golden Sunshine was smartly away and led the field to the 100m, tiring from that point to finish fourth, beaten three lengths. *ANZ
