Ellalong trainer-driver Michael Formosa was seventh with Ultimate Art while Keinbah pair, trainer Shane Tritton and driver Lauren Panella, were 11th with Easy On The Eye.
Ultimate Art, which started four wide and one barrier inside eventual winner Beautide, was paying $29 to take out the annual 3009-metre race with Easy On The Eye at odds of $63.10.
Short-price favourite Beautide blitzed the 2015 field to clinch back-to-back crowns in the $750,000 Group 1 feature with a comprehensive victory.
Beautide finished 13.7 metres ahead of second-placed Flaming Flutter and a further 1.4m in front of third-placed For A Reason.
Tritton also had two runners in the Ladyship Mile with Laterron third and Pas Ultimate Delight eighth, driven by US legend Tim Tetrick and Panella respectively.
Panella was third in the Lady Drivers Invitational on board Whata Avenue.
