French-bred stayer Gailo Chop, a dual Group One winner, resumed to score a smart first up win here. He was smartly away, led early on before settling nicely in second place before moving up to race outside leader (Master Reset) at the 800m. He got to the front on straightening and then fought back to score comfortably, looking set for a good preparation. German-bred stayer Harlem raced in third place, went to second on turning for home and while safely held by the winner he did battle gamely for a good first up second. In an all-imports finish, another German-bred Lord Fandango, also resuming, fought on nicely to take the minor placing after having a good trip in fourth place on the rails.
