In an all-West Australian finish, the highly consistent local mare Magnifisio scored a narrow but impressive win. She settled in a good spot, sixth one off the rails and remained there until eased deep rounding the home turn. She then put in a strong finish, hitting the front at the 100m and then fought back to score well. She then survived a protest from the runner-up that was subsequently dismissed. Watermans Bay was back in tenth place, one off the rails, until switched between runners on turning for home. He then ran on well, getting to within a head of the winner at the post for a good second. Shining Knight was midfield but trapped deep from barrier 11. He put in a good run in the centre of the track from the 300m and ran on well for a good third. Another local Testamezzo made ground from tenth at the turn for (2.5 lengths) fourth. The favourite Angelic Light had a perfect trip behind the leader to the turn and fought on for (2.8 lengths) fifth after seeming to have every chance while the second favourite Moment Of Change led the field until the 200m but disappointed from that point in finishing (3.3 lengths) sixth. Bel Sprinter was last to the turn and made some ground without threatening for seventh and Godolphin’s Sidestep also raced below his best after being midfield to the turn in finishing (5.4 lengths) ninth.
