Foxella retired at the entrance to the straight, leaving Peridot out clear, while a little further on Lovemorn, Falconbridge, and Authentic were challenging. Lovemorn finished strongly, but Peridot stalled her off by half a head, while a length back Authentic shaded Falconbridge, with Frances next. Dress Rehearsal set the pace In the Squatters’ Handicap, Terminus following her to the straight. The Hob was third at this stage, after being slow away. Then he moved up and won with ridiculous ease. Cipher finished fast to head Dress Rehearsal on the post.
