Following a tough run in the Caulfield Guineas (Gr 1, 1600m) two weeks ago, Kubrick bounced back here, finding an impossible gap along the fence at the 150m and thrusting through for a super win, his third in seven career starts. He began well but soon after eased back to fourth (rails) where he remained past the 1200m and on to the 800m. Nearing the last corner he was shuffled back and had nowhere to go inside the 400m. Full of running, jockey Brenton Avdulla rode for luck, hugged the fence and found the narrowest of gaps at the 200m, thrust through and caught the leader then ran clear for a good win. Pancho sat second last at the 800m, caught the pack rounding into the home straight and went widest from the 400m. He took some time to wind up but was doing his best work late for a solid second. Colada led them in, still led at the 200m but was caught by the winner then kept on well for third from Ballistic Boy who stuck on fairly well along the fence for fourth.
