A winner here in April and twice Listed-placed prior to this, Granny Red Shoes put up a stunning performance in winning her second race in seven starts. She settled second last early standing up the leader a good ten lengths passing the 800m. Jockey Jeff Lloyd moved her closer approaching the last corner but she was still fourth last and needing a clear run. Into the straight she seemed flat but Lloyd was only waiting for space, pulled another width wider at the 200m, flashed past the leaders and won going away for an impressive win. Axella was also well back but much wider than the winner at the top of the straight then kept on strongly all the way to the line, nabbing second late. Spirit's Choice took over the lead at the 250m and had them in trouble but was collared at the 100m then held on for third from Perfect Aim, who was second at the 200m but was swamped just before the post.
