AMI'S GIRL tossed her head breaking out on the start, was hard held on the rail quite headstrong trailing the field into the first turn, settled down gathering herself smartly getting into stride down the backstretch, had a good position liking the three horse battle for the lead while drafting behind the rivals around the last turn, shifted out in finding a seam in the two path turning for home and with the rider statuesque in mid-stretch bearing down the leader edged away under a hand ride for the victory. REGAL MOMENT broke inwards on the start, used the rail advantage to assume command going into the first of two turns, slackened the tempo while hounded outside by a rival midway down the backstretch, continued up top but by a slim advantage with now two rivals pressing the issue outside through the last turn, under a well rated ride spurted away from the outside challengers in upper stretch, braced for the winner outside at the furlong pole but could not repel that foe late who had an ideal trip through the race. NIKITA'S GEM was content to just sit off the pacesetter going into the first turn, moved in turning up the pressure outside down the backstretch, vied between runners under a ride at the three eighths pole up front, still was in the mix up top in the three path outside foes in upper stretch but had little left for the drive and faded at the eighth pole to be a clear third at the finish line. PEACE POSEY travelled three wide in a stalking position outside in the initial turn, ranged up three deep down the back straight, made an early move three wide at the three furlong pole to battle outside around the last bend, had little in reserve shifting out four wide for the drive and folded inside by mid-stretch.
