Triple Group 1 winner Santa Ana Lane staked his claims for the upcoming The Everest (1200m) with an impressive late-closing victory. He settled back third last place (on the rails) in the eight-horse field, tracking a fast pace, got along the inner on turning for home and kept running on strongly to grab a narrow victory in the closing stages. His stablemate Shoals raced in second last place, moved up (deep) on straightening and kept running on gamely to fail only by a head in a very smart effort at her second run back. In Her Time travelled well in fourth place on the rails, took the lead coming to the 100m and fought gamely for a close up third in a very smart first-up performance. Trapeze Artist had a good trip in fifth place, one off the rails, moved up at the home turn and kept battling on quite well from there for (1.7 lengths) fourth. The favourite Redzel went to the front, was pressured in the lead (by Invincible Star) before fighting on to finish (2.1 lengths) at his second run back and his first run since a setback.
