Genesis in an eighteen-runner field which also included Schon Glanz and Beach Samba who had finished first and second in the Artemis Stakes. Belle Soeurs set the early pace from Meisho Shobu with Danon Fantasy being settled towards the rear before being switched towards the wide outside on the final turn and making rapid progress. Meisho Shobu took the lead in the straight but Danon Fantasy gained the advantage 100 metres from the finish and repelled the challenge of Chrono Genesis to win by half a length, with Beach Samba a neck away in third place. After the race Demuro commented "The filly was relaxed and when I saw the second favorite come outside us after the fourth corner, I told her it's time to go, we have to fight, and she responded really well.

With Kawada in the saddle she settled in third place before taking the lead in the straight and won by a length from Shigeru Pink Dia.
