Irish-trained mare True Self followed her unlucky second in the Geelong Cup (Gr 3, 2400m) on her Australian debut on October 23 with a very good win here. She travelled well for Ryan Moore in fifth place but was held up between runners in the straight before Moore steered her through a narrow gap to take the lead at the 200m. She then went on to score comfortably in a really good performance. Carif began well and then settled in third place on the rails. He got through on the inner to take the lead at the 300m and then fought on nicely for second, his third such placing on his last three starts. Maurus raced near the tail of the 11-horse field, tracked up from the 600m, commenced his move at the 300m and kept running on well for third with Ventura Storm battling on well for (2.5 lengths) fourth.
