A Royal Ascot Listed winner two years ago at her only start in England and a Listed winner at Saratoga, Con Te Partiro won well here - her fourth career success on debut in Australia. She began fairly then improved to be a handy fourth, one out, inside the 1200m. She kept in touch and moved up to third nearing the home straight, looked to challenge but was squeezed at the 250m. Balanced, she bullocked her way between runners and finished with great determination to get the decision by a half-neck. Savatiano sat second all the way to the 400m, co-led briefly then took over at the 300m and looked the winner at the 100m but was swamped late. Organza moved up to fifth at the top of the straight, got up to second at the 100m but was outgunned late, while Into The Abyss got going too late to land fourth.
