1st
| EL SOLDADO
| Darryl Bradley
| This is sensational. I was midfield early in the running and he was over-racing so I sent him to the front and dictated. To the horses credit he gave me everything and held everyone at bay.
|
2nd
| ROSE OF VIRGINIA
| Cameron Lammas
| Massive run. We got a good trip and she was nice and relaxed. The winner just had too much of a break on us but she tried her little heart out.
|
3rd
| SACRED MASTER
| Leith Innes
| They didn't go that hard. We got out in plenty of time but just couldn't catch them. It was a brave effort.
|
4th
| PENTATHLON
| Chris Johnson
| It was a good grinding run. It was a slowly run race. I thought he was going to stop half way down but to his credit he kept grinding.
|
5th
| APACHE FIREWORKS
| Trudy Thornton
| I thought it was a huge run. She could have got it softer but she showed a lot of heart. Very brave.
|
6th
| KING KAMADA
| Danielle Johnson
| He boxed away fairly today but I thought he would've sprinted a bit better off the corner.
|
7th
| SAMPSON
| Lisa Allpress
| I was pretty happy with his run. We got three back the fence and settled nicely there. He was probably just a bit fresh going into a 3200m race.
|
8th
| EL PISTOLA
| Robert Hannam
| The track was possibly just too firm for her. From the draw we went forward and I got sucked back to 3 back the fence and had a beautiful trip. We just couldn't sprint the way the others did - maybe next year.
|
9th
| SMEDLEY
| Sam Collett
| He probably needed a typhoon of rain to bring him into contention today.
|
10th
| BENZINI
| Vinnie Colgan
| He went a fair race. When they sprinted he just got left behind.
|
11th
| STORMING THE TOWER
| Craig Grylls
| We were back and wide but he battled on well.
|
12th
| SHOW THE WORLD
| Matt Cameron
| He was very disappointing. He had his chance. We were following Sacred Master but we just weren't on our game.
|
13th
| GURANTOR
| Michael Coleman
| He pulled a little hard and just didn't see out the trip.
|
14th
| DECORAH
| Opie Bosson
| He pulled and hung the whole way.
|
15th
| MISTER IMPATIENCE
| Sam Spratt
| He's possibly a little tired. He's an outright stayer and we went forward. Not sure if it was the right thing to do but he may be just a little tired.
|
Last
| CHEEKY BOY
| Mark Hills
| No early pace and a bit of rain would have helped him.
