00:00 Michael Towers and Michaela Towers and Pablo Zart, Ellen Jones and Blake Jones and the
00:04 back markers here off the second row, Sax Player and more arts than class.
00:08 It's the first and the favourite here is Scotty Mac at 2.40.
00:12 Good luck at Riverina Paceway.
00:13 The TAB Mobile releases the field and they're away with Double Mac beginning well here and
00:18 gets a very comfortable lead from Tiger Cheddar who offers no pressure.
00:23 Now emerging out of the pack is Cam Nat who goes up second.
00:26 Tiger Cheddar now third who will I think secure the spot behind the leader Double Mac.
00:30 Further back then to Scotty Mac who goes up the outside fourth one out one back.
00:35 In behind those in the running line we've got more arts than class.
00:38 Next on the inside is Kiwi Kalahari and then came Complicated who's centre field the outside.
00:43 In the last few we've got Sax Player over on the inside about four back the pegs and
00:47 the last pair Pablo Zart there and four metres away back at the rear is Golden Reason.
00:53 So that's the order.
00:54 First time in 8.6 and a 28.8 recorded for Double Mac through that first quarter.
01:00 Circuit to go and Jack Painting with Double Mac leads out by two over Cam Nat in second
01:05 for Shane Horcroft.
01:06 They leave the straight inside of Circuit to go.
01:08 Then Tiger Cheddar running third.
01:10 The outside is Scotty Mac the favourite fourth.
01:12 Kiwi Kalahari fifth.
01:14 Further back behind those then two more arts than class.
01:17 The running line the inside Sax Player.
01:19 Further back is Complicated.
01:20 The last pair Pablo Zart and back at the rear is Golden Reason.
01:24 Second quarter.
01:25 In 30.1 into the far side 650 metres to go and Jack Painting is getting away with a front
01:31 runner here.
01:32 Double Mac burst about 10 in front.
01:34 All of a sudden Cam Nat's put under severe pressure.
01:37 Now coming out is Scotty Mac but this lead has got away about 15 in front.
01:41 Not as though Jack was necessarily winding it up down the back straight.
01:44 The horse was doing the work and now Jack is saying righto let's win this 400 metres
01:48 to go.
01:49 27.4 down the back really broke up the field.
01:52 A galloper back in the pack was Sax Player turning for home and the front runner is Double
01:56 Mac.
01:57 Can it keep going?
01:58 Scotty Mac is the one that's come out of the pack about 15 metres away.
02:01 Further back then to Cam Nat.
02:03 Out wide there is Pablo Zart.
02:04 They turn for home though it's Double Mac still with a huge lead with about 120 metres
02:08 to go.
02:09 Painting might have just about pinched this.
02:11 Scotty Mac is still closing off but Double Mac is not stopping and it's Double Mac who
02:15 wins it by eight.
02:17 Scotty Mac second.
02:18 Third goes to Pablo Zart and then Golden Reason.
02:21 Further back more arts than class being followed by Complicated.
02:24 Then came Cam Nat, Kiwi Kalahari, Tiger Cheddar.
02:27 Towards the end was Sax Player.
02:29 30.5 wasn't the overly quickest of final quarters but it was good enough.
02:35 156.1.
