Col ‘N’ Lil, who resumed with a good win in the Weetwood Handicap (Listed, 1200m) at Toowoomba on 8 April, came out here three runs later to score a good win, her first at Group level. She began well, and settled nicely in third place (one off the rails) before getting to the front at the 600m. She was challenged at the 200m but kept fighting back gamely to score well. Duca Valentinois had a good trip in fourth place, got through to challenge at the 300m and kept fighting gamely for a good second. Elle Lou raced in sixth place, moved up well nearing the home turn, going to third on straightening and then kept battling on soundly to take the minor placing. The favourite Religify had a good run in third place but was under pressure on turning for home and dropped out to finish (12 lengths) sixth, racing well below his form on the affected Eagle Farm track.
