An impressive last start winner, Diplomatico scored backto-back here in just his third career start for his maiden stakes win. He jumped fairly well but rider Koby Jennings elected to drop back to third last of the seven runners. The pace slowed at the 800m, packing the field up and forcing Diplomatico out four wide past the 600m and was widest turning in yet handy enough. Jennings waited until the 200m to ask the question, took over at the 100m then eased into the lead to be three quarters of a length in front when it mattered. Legend Of Condor was last at the 600m, got alongside the winner at the 200m but could not get past yet stayed on well for second. The Tenor took over at the top of the straight, led or co-led to the 150m, was collared then held on well for third, narrowly from Mansa Musa who led or co-led to the 150m then battled away to hold fourth.
