R9 EAGLE FARM | 11 June 2016 |
Aami Stradbroke Hcp G1 3U OPEN ($1,500,000), 1400m 1:23.72 | |
Race Synopsis: Under The Louvre was settled back in 12th place by Dwayne Dunn until tracking up (wide with cover) on passing the 800m. He switched deep rounding the home turn, sprinted quickly in the centre of the track to challenge at the 200m. He then lifted gamely under pressure to score narrowly but well in a hard-fought finish. Black Heart Bart raced in tenth place before improving (deep) at the home turn. He challenged at the 200m and after quite a battle, he failed narrowly for second putting up a strong effort under his top weight (58kg), conceding the winner 3.5kg. Lightlyraced three-year-old The Virginian surprised in taking third. Having only his fourth raced start, he settled in 15th place, went widest of all at the home turn and then ran on well to take the minor placing in a most promising effort. Delectation was in 14th place to the home turn and made ground without threatening for (6.9 lengths) fourth. The favourite Azkadellia disappointed. She raced just beyond midfield on the rails, got through on the inner from the 200m but failed to make any ground before finishing (11 lengths) tenth. |
