Dual Group 1 winner Scales Of Justice staged a very good first-up effort, proving a credit to his trainer Lindsey Smith in taking out this Group 2 race in good style. Having his first start since September, he began well from his good barrier (2) and settled nicely behind the leader (Hey Doc) tracking a quick tempo. Rider Dean Yendall forced a split halfway down the straight and he then finished strongly for a very good win. Hey Doc, having his first start since his brilliant win in the Winterbottom Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m) at Ascot in November, again went to the front. He was then pressured in the lead (by Ashlor) and after setting a quick pace, he did well in fighting gamely for second. Embrace Me settled in second-last place in the eight-runner field, commenced a wide move rounding the home turn and she then kept running on in good style for third, in a very good second-up effort. Ringerdingding raced in last place, stuck to the inner coming to the home turn and kept making ground along the rails for (1.2 lengths) fourth in a promising first-up run. Of the others, Ashlor raced outside the leader (Hey Doc) and did very well in holding on for (2.5 lengths) fifth, while the colt Microphone raced in sixth place, one off the rails, and was under pressure at the home turn before rallying to a degree over the latter stages to hold (2.7 lengths) sixth placing
