Is it because he was running for the second consecutive week or because of the difference in weight,  the fact is that Il Saggiatore has been beaten for the first time this season and  it was newcomer Ice Axe who won it. Following in third position, he hit top gear in the straight to hold off the challenge of Il Saggiatore in record time (1.29.18).

National Play did not disgrace himself finishing third in front of Capitaine.
