Down the back stretch they blazed as Treacle came up to challenge the leader and continued the battle with Settle in Seattle for the lead.
Around the far turn the two animals were still in front in their neck and neck duel with Jack Is My Style and Run Nana Run starting to take orders as they ran into contention while making their move on the front runners.
Into the homestretch it was Treacle that was pointing them as Jack Is My Style and Run Nana Run by then running for all their worth as they took up the chase. But it was little too late as Treacle held on to win by a whisker in a photo finish from a fast finishing Jack is My Style, Run Nana Run came a close third with Settle in Seattle settling for fourth.
