Justin Prentice's Majorpride was sent out a $3 favourite from the luxurious draw in 1 and found the front early.
The Howlett fillies went forward early; firstly My Prayer faced the breeze, but shortly after Hello Hotshot worked forward to relieve the stablemate of that position.

But unfortunately Majorpride had one last effort in store and went on to defeat the brave Hello Hotshot.
Also in the Diamond Classic My Prayer who had a good run would finish off the race a close up third.
