HAVING won her previous two starts at Gr.3 and Gr.2 level it was not surprising to see Shamekha sent out as odds-on favourite for this event. The early pacegetter was Touched By God with Shamekha restrained as Zaloot moved up towards the lead after being trapped wide. Unearthly, who had begun well, settled in sixth position one off the rail and was travelling comfortably. By restraining Shameka to trail the 50/1 chance Jim Cassidy found himself being carried back through the field by the tiring Zaloot and with 60/1 chance Aim For Gold on his outside and going nowhere, he was unable to get out. This quickly put pay to any chance the favourite had of winning.

In the meantime, Corey Brown had put Uneathly into the race from the 600m point and at the top of the straight Unearthly was on the outside and ready to strike. Brown drove Unearthly to the front with about 250m to go and she strode away to win by 2.3 lengths from Santissima, who had followed Unearthly through the race but could not match her final burst. Classy Dane was a close third after negotiating a path nearer the rail, however she seemed to race a little `flat' after backing up from her second to Ambulance the previous week.
