| Colin Stephen Qlty G3 3U OPEN ($125,800), 2400m 2:29.51 | |
| Race Synopsis: Deane Martin was used up to settled on the quarters of
the early leader Travolta. He eased to third when Iggi Pop made his
forward move at the 1800m settling on the back of that horse in third
position. Travolta continued to run along in front with Deane Martin
working up to take second position at the 900m before pressuring
him and taking the lead at the 600m. He cornered in front and stayed
on gamely seeing off all challengers to score a hard fought victory
in a cluttered finish. A game effort. Iggi Pop was posted three wide
coming out of the straight for the first time, forcing him to work hard
before racing on the quarters of the leader Travolta and was later
shuffled back to fourth on the fence at the 700m when Deane Martin
and Celtic Prince made their moves. He turned for home back in
fourth position hemmed away. He secured a clear run at the 250m
and stayed on solidly back on the inside of the winner. A sound effort
after an unusual passage in the run. Celtic Prince raced on the
back of Deane Martin one out one back in fifth position. He made
his move three wide from the 900m improving his position to third,
pressing the leaders at the 700m. He cornered four wide and stayed
on gamely at one pace the whole way to the line. He sustained a
long wide run and it was a sound effort, he should appreciate more
ground. Gallatin put in a much improved effort. He enjoyed a nice
run in the race fourth on the fence racing on the inside of Celtic
Prince. He pushed out off the fence at the 900m before corning for
home four and five wide into the clear. He closed resolutely lugging
in a little the whole way down the straight for fourth. | |
