Danny Tudhope had the Karl Burke-trained filly Living In The Past out of the stalls and was able to dictate the race to spring a minor surprise on the 12-1 winner.
Nasaiym and Precious Moments tried to keep tabs on the leader but were unable to strike a blow – and they faded as the rest of the pack closed in at the business end of proceedings.
Liberty Beach, the 15-8 favourite, made late gains to claim second place but was three-quarters of a length down at the line.
A further length away was Good Vibes, who grabbed third spot from Under The Stars.
