After unlucky seconds at his first two runs this preparation, True Detective broke through a deserved win, albeit being awarded in the stewards' room. He began well on this occasion and was racing in fifth place (between runners) at the 600m before easing into clear running at the 300m. He challenged at the 200m but was carried deep in the latter stages, and after being second past the post, he gained the win on protest. Superium raced in third place, one off the rails, improved rounding the home turn, took the lead at the 200m and was first past the post but was relegated to second on protest. Lucicello again settled back in the field and was eighth at the home turn. She then kept running on nicely to take third without looking likely to threaten in the sprint home. Edison was seventh on the rails at the home turn and after being blocked, he made good late ground for (3.7 lengths) fourth.
