British import Wrotham Heath broke through for his first Australian win in good fashion, albeit narrowly. He went straight to lead and settled nicely setting average tempo. He was challenged rounding the home turn but fought back well, holding a handy lead to the final 50m, then just lasted to win in a photo. Aeratus, who was chasing his fourth successive win, raced outside the leader and eventual winner most of the way. He was under pressure at the 200m but rallied well in the latter stages to just miss in a photo. Shenzhou Steeds was a handy third on the rails most of the way and held that position to the post after seeming to have every chance. *ANZ
