J Boag's Prem. Doomben 10,000 G1 3U OPEN ($750,000), 1350m 1:17.77 | |
Race Synopsis: In a race run at a very quick tempo, Music Magnate settled well back in fifth place, one off the rails. He improved well rounding the home turn, put in a strong run to hit the front at the 100m and then fought back gamely for an impressive win in fast time. Azkadellia was ridden quietly from her outside barrier (9) and settled back at the tail of the field. She commenced a wide move at the 600m, challenged at the 100m and fought very well for a very good second at her first run from a brief let-up looking on track for next month’s Stradbroke Handicap (Gr 1, 1400m). Charlie Boy raced back in sixth place and got along the inner to challenge at the 100m and then battled very well for a good third. Delectation missed the start, recovered to settle in eighth place. He improved (under riding) nearing the home turn, got a split on passing the 200m and the fought on quite well for fourth, beaten a length. Dothraki was back in fourth, tracking the strong pace, put in a run to be in a challenging position at the 200m before finishing (2.3 lengths) fifth. Favourite Fell Swoop raced a bit keenly early on in third place before joining the leaders (Two Blue and Hooked) at the 700m. He went to the lead at the 200m but tired after his early efforts , racing on a hectic pace, to finish (2.7 lengths) sixth. |
