Spill The Beans was quickly away from his wide barrier (11) and soon crossed to travel outside the leader (Eloping). He got the better of that mare and went to the front at the 300m. He then struck gamely to his task, fighting back well when challenged to score in a photo. Federal was back in third last place in the 13-horse field. He was under riding at the home turn, went deep at the 300m and came with a late finish to take a very good second. Top weight (59kg) Stratum Star was seventh, just behind the leading group, got a split at the 250m and kept running on gamely for third in an impressive effort. Miss Cover Girl was a handy fourth, challenged strongly at the 200m, looking dangerous, and then fought on for a close-up fourth after running a bold race.
