The first leg came in the opening McGrath Oil Maiden courtesy of Dolce Strega. The 3-1 chance had shown real promise on debut, and impressed with a fine success here.

Zebgrey was sent off a heavily backed odds-on favourite, and was first to show, while Anania looked a real danger as she moved to challenge two furlongs out. But, a look in behind revealed Lee was confident aboard Dolce Strega, and he produced his mount to lead in the final hundred yards for a cosy half-length victory.
