Trained by Michael Meade for owners Peter Woods and Stephanie Maguire, the 2-1 market leader took control right from the start after showing a lovely touch of early speed.

Derek Kehoe's Slaneyside Roo delivered a fine front running display in the second semi final. Always in control up front, the 3-1 winner proved a length too strong for the running on Almighty Emma, in 31.84.
