The Team Hawkes-trained two-year-old gelding Takemehomemister, who was having his second race start, began well and raced outside the leader (Mooinooi), got to a narrow lead at the 100m and then fought back to score a good win. The Robbie Griffiths-trained Evolutionist raced in sixth place (wide with cover), responded to riding the in the straight and kept running on well for a good second, going well on debut. The Mick Price-trained colt Plato, a half brother to the 2015 Golden Slipper Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m) winner Vancouver (Medaglia d’Oro), was handily placed, but was then forced to race three wide (without cover) in third place from the 600m. He put in a good run at the 300m and then kept fighting on for third in a sound effort on debut.
