00:00 Nemoska from the inside away okay, not a lot of speed Elfie Always early out wider of the
00:05 front row Majestic Connie's was the best away.
00:07 It's looking to clear Elfie Always trying to accelerate and also going forward was Majestic
00:13 Connie's stable mate in Medina Sky got a real flyer at the start and it's looking to get
00:17 past his stable mate into the first turn.
00:19 Now let's see Homilums made a mess of the stand start and a little slow to begin too
00:22 Bohemian Rhapsody's added to its back mark but they sought out their positions.
00:27 Nemoska's racing third, fourth is Elfie Always then Wish Upon a Dream is on the inside of
00:31 Builder Bob.
00:32 10 metres to Maliki passed by Watch and Act.
00:35 Gil Favre's last of that main group and Bohemian Rhapsody's trying to chase them up after a
00:40 little bit of a slow start off the 20.
00:42 It's still about 15 away and out the back 100 metres away after bungling the stand start
00:47 Homilums going to take little part.
00:48 47.3 was the lead time so down to the end of the bend start back straight and Medina
00:53 Sky is out on top and Elfie Always has cruised up alongside and just has a little look for
00:59 the front but it's not there so he grabs up again and parks at the wheel of the leader.
01:03 Third getting a lovely run in the box seat stalking his stable mate Majestic Connie's.
01:07 One-one Builder Bob's having a sweet trip.
01:09 The inside Nemoska is fifth.
01:10 Wish Upon a Dream is sixth and then Watch and Act around Gil Favre.
01:15 Maliki just battling to keep in touch as detached on the inside Bohemian Rhapsody got past it
01:21 and out the back was Homilum.
01:23 30.1 first quarter so pretty solid mid-race tempo being set by Elfie Always on Medina
01:28 Sky.
01:29 Freewheeling it through the middle Medina Sky made a brilliant start off the 10 to get
01:33 around and lead.
01:34 Parked up on the outside Elfie Always forced to do it the hard way sitting parked from
01:38 the get go.
01:40 Majestic Connie's is right behind its stable mate just trotting a little awkwardly on that
01:43 turn though.
01:44 Waits its chance on the Sky Valley Sprint Lane.
01:47 Builder Bob's poised to go in the one-one.
01:49 First Wish Upon a Dream getting a nice economical run.
01:52 She's about 12 off the leader.
01:54 Nemoska yielding ground.
01:55 Watch and Act trying to flush out a three-wide trail.
01:58 Bohemian Rhapsody's following it up then Gil Favre.
02:00 Maliki's 10 away at the tail.
02:02 31.5 was the second quarter so as they work down to the end of the bend stud back straight
02:06 Medina Sky has controlled things nicely.
02:09 Still under a hold.
02:10 The outside Elfie Always and now Builder Bob is moving up out three deep with a claim.
02:15 He's moved up to second.
02:16 He's running on strongly under urging.
02:18 Wish Upon a Dream trying to track it up in fourth.
02:20 Galloping was Majestic Connie's.
02:22 Watch and Act to the outside.
02:24 Top of the straight.
02:25 It's on the inside.
02:26 Hard driven Medina Sky but responding to the urging.
02:29 Builder Bob getting level.
02:30 29.1 they went down the back.
02:32 Wish Upon a Dream's getting right up along the Sky Valley Sprint Lane.
02:35 Then watch and Act.
02:36 Builder Bob's taking the lead.
02:37 Wish Upon a Dream's coming up along the inside of Medina Sky.
02:41 It's just in front.
02:42 Builder Bob.
02:43 Wish Upon a Dream is wearing it down in Wish Upon a Dream.
02:46 Great drive by Bellman right up along the pegs to be neither Builder Bob who weakened
02:50 on his run and Medina Sky who kept on giving.
02:53 Then watch and Act fourth.
02:54 Bohemian Rhapsody.
02:55 Elfie Always.
02:56 Gil Favre.
02:57 Maliki never got into it.
02:58 Namoska tired out of it.
02:59 Breaking around the home turn Majestic Connie's and just coming up the lane.
03:03 Hominin after bungling the stand start.
03:05 30.9 and 24.1 was the mile rate there.
03:09 Standby for that to be confirmed when the handicaps go in there for Elderbarren Park.
03:14 Wish Upon a Dream.
03:15 Mick Bellman.
03:16 Great drive.
03:17 He's had a nice economical run.
03:18 He was following Builder Bob in the run.
03:20 Builder Bob peeled out three deep.
03:21 Loomed up alongside of the lead around the turn.
03:23 Look the winner.
03:24 She wasn't travelling all that well at that stage.
03:27 Wish Upon a Dream.
03:28 So he chose to go back to the inside and try and save up some ground.
03:32 It's been the race winning move because he's able to probably save a couple of metres around
03:36 the home turn and then sneaking up on its rivals in the sprint lane and has gone home
03:41 best to win.
03:42 Four.
03:43 And Medina Sky was clearly headed off by Builder Bob who had Medina Sky on toast and
03:48 then just peaked on his run late.
03:50 He's run third.
03:51 Builder Bob 4.98 and fourth going to number 11 which was.
