Ringerdingding continued his good form since joining the Darren Weir stable in advancing to take out this Group 2 race in promising style. He settled a bit closer in eighth place before improving (wide with cover) from the 600m. John Allen took him deeper to make his move coming to the 300m and he produced his now renowned strong finish to score quite comfortably at the post after hitting the front at the 50m. The lone filly in the field, Seabrook was smartly away from her wide barrier (10) and settled nicely outside the leader (Scottish Rogue). She got to the front at the 200m and fought gamely for second after running a very good race. Long Leaf had a good trip in fourth place, one out and one back, moved up strongly at the 300m and battled strongly for third in a sound performance. Zoutori, having his third start since winning a maiden (1200m) at Kilmore on October 5, did well in fighting on for (2.5 lengths) fourth after making ground from seventh at the home turn.
