Recap by phillip woo
Favourite Flintshire settled behind midfield and one off the rails about eight lengths off the slow pace at the 1,200m, swung the final bend two from the right, let down like a classy horse to hit the front 150m out despite shifting ground and held off the onrushing Willie Cazals to chalk up a second career Group One for the French challenger. Willie Cazals produced a huge run to come from near last widest out at the 300m to cut the margin to half-length despite an unfavourable pace. Khaya got away with a slow pace after finding the front 2,000m out and kept on gamely to just hold Dominant for a placing after finding the front 2,000m out. Dominant had every chance after taking the short route home after travelling worse than midfield along the fence. Curren Mirotic settled one-out, one-back, ranged on the leader at the 800m and came up one-paced over the final 150m. Red Cadeaux settled one-off in midfield, swung the final bend with three wider out and ran on steadily without menacing. He had no excuses. Snow Sky was handy along the rails, rallied four deep upon straightening and came up one-paced over the final 200m. Empoli badly missed the start and was never a factor.
