R8 RANDWICK | 13 February 2017 |
The Star Apollo Stakes G2 3U OPEN ($252,000), 1400m 1:22.57 | |
Race Synopsis: Champion mare Winx was brilliant, yet again, resuming here to score her 14th successive win. She was a bit slow to move but recovered to settle in sixth place, between runners. She angled into clear running nearing the home turn. Moved up easily at the 300m, raced to the front at the 150m and then drew away to win easily, looking set for great autumn carnival campaign. Hartnell also put in a very good run, resuming here, even if overshadowed by the winner. He settled in eighth place, one off the rails. He put in a good run from the 300m, went to second at the 100m and then fought well to hold that position. Endless Drama was smartly away and settled in third place, one off the rails. He moved up well at the home turn, briefly took the lead at the 300m and then held on to take the minor placing in a sound first up run. Dibayani had a good trip in fourth place and battled on quite well to hold that position to the post, some nine lengths from the winner. |
