Little Kizz began quickly to lead for Christie Gilbert from Mission Impossible and Samantha Pascoe. Mr Murphy settled third, while Wynkie Sweet Fairytales was slowly away from her back mark.
Mr Murphy took the lead from Little Kizz before the home turn and looked set for an easy victory, however Corey Johnson had trouble keeping Mr Murphy going straight in the final stages, and had Little Kizz not been baulked for a run, she would have finished closer. Mission Impossible held on for third ahead of Wynkie Sweet Fairytales, who was just starting to get going near the line, after giving away a big start mid-race.
Corey Johnson was cautioned for his zig-zag driving in the concluding stages of the race.
