The iron filly Driefontein scored a most determined and deserved victory, coming from sixth about five lengths from the leaders on the home turn. She looked set to finish second to Platelet, who took a clear lead in the straight but she kept finding the line and drew away to a good win. Platelet had every chance. She settled in second on the outside of the leader, shot clear in the straight and looked the certain winner until challenged late on by the winner on her outside. *ANZ
