The large field split as expected with most runners opting for the flat side but with some well fancied runners coming down the grandstand side the finish was always going to be difficult to judge. The track record holder Iglesia worked his way to the lead on the flat side but was gone at the halfway point leaving Sports in the lead with Guiscard. Within the final 200 metres, Show A Heart was clearly in the lead on the grandstand side but there were many chances on the flat side. Damien Oliver weaved a path through the field and burst to the lead on Toledo who had settled near the rear early. He looked set to win easily but Show A Heart flew home on the grandstand rail to go down by just 1/2 length. Mannington was a bold third. A great win by the old timer Toledo contesting his fourth Newmarket but a very impressive performance by Show A Heart who will win more Group 1 races in the future.
