Kris Lees-trained colt Graff was an impressive first-up winner and remains unbeaten after three starts. He began well from his inside barrier (1) and settled in fourth place on the rails before getting through on the inner rounding the home turn. He went to the front at the 200m and then drew away to score a really good win decisively by two and a half lengths. Neutrality went to the front, was pressured in the early stages before holding a clear lead. He was taken a bit deeper rounding the home turn (looking for better going), was headed at the 200m and then fought on nicely in a good first-up effort. Performer raced in fifth place but wide without cover. He then kept running on well in the centre of the track for third, without looking a winning chance, for a sound third, resuming here. Jonker raced was handily placed most of the way and after being fourth nearing the home turn, he battled on to hold that position, beaten just over four lengths in a sound first-up run.
