The Darley-raced filly Meridian followed encouraging seconds at her last two starts to score quite well here. She settled third, one off the fence and moved up to be outside the leader from the 600m. She went to the front on turning for home and was given an easy time in the latter stages, when looking to have the race well in her keeping, just lasting to win by a neck. First starter Rainbow Bridge, from the Gai Waterhouse stable, raced behind the leader to the turn. She got into clear running at the 200m and rallied in the closing stages to get within a neck of the winner in finishing second. Elusive Runner was badly away and was a clear last in the 13-horse field on settling. She was still well back at the turn and ran on very well in the straight, putting up an eye-catching effort for third. *ANZ
