Race Synopsis:Consistent five-year-old Illustrious Lad keeps racing consistently, now winning nine of his 25 starts and he advanced here to take out his first Group win. He began well and travelled nicely, following a reasonable early pace (first 600m 35.21) just behind the leading group in fifth place before moving up well at the 300m. He got to the front at the 100m and then went on to win well, sprinting home in a smart 33.10 (last 600m). Counterattack raced in eighth place, between runners, moved up at the 200m, challenged at the 100m and then fought well for second. The favourite Southern Legend was handily placed, just behind the leaders, challenged at the 200m and then battled on well for third after appearing to have every chance. Keen Array raced in second place, travelling closest to the Grandstand rail, looked a threat at the 200m and then kept fighting on quite well for (2 lengths) fourth while Ball Of Muscle led the field until the 200m before weakening late to finish (2.4 lengths) fifth.
