New Zealand colt The Chosen One staged an impressive effort in taking out this Group 3 race at his second Australian start. He settled at the tail of the 12-horse field before tracking up well (wide with cover) from the 700m. Blake Shinn brought him up strongly nearing the 200m and after hitting the front at the 100m, the colt then drew away to win well. Dealmaker raced back in ninth place, improved between runners nearing the home turn, eased deeper and into clear running at the 200m and then ran on quite well to take second. Purple Sector settled in sixth place, moved up well (wide) from the 600m, briefly hit the front at the 200m and then fought on well for a good third. The favourite Amangiri had a good trip in fifth place, but was blocked for clear running in the straight and went to the post an untested (3 lengths) sixth.
