She took the lead with 900 m to run and completed 2600 m in 3min 37.65, sprinting her final 800 m in Imin 1.55, and her last 400 m in 29.85. Montrose had plenty in reserve at the finish where she had a length to spare over Kotare Tyrone, with Ruthless running on late for third three lengths back, with two lengths to Lord Louie.- —
