FOUR of the 10 runners had previously recorded Gr.1 victories with the most recent of these, Mummify, proving victorious here, whilst the other three filled the last three positions.

Mummify was having his third start from a spell which he earned after convincingly winning the SAJC Derby in May.

A reasonably leisurely pace was set by regular leader Crianca whilst Ain't Seen Nothin' did some work early to cross from barrier nine and sit a length behind her one off the rail. Danny Nikolic, riding Mummify, trailed Ain't Seen Nothin' and took off three wide to apply pressure to the leaders with 600m to go. Crianca could not go with the other two from the top of the straight and though Mummify got his head in front early in the straight it was a stirring battle with Ain't Seen Nothin' rallying strongly and Mummify only getting away from the mare in the final 50m.

In the meantime Grey Song had weaved a passage through from last at the 400m point to fail by 0.2 lengths to catch the winner and beat Ain't Seen Nothin', which lost a plate in running, into third place.
