00:00 Getting close to a start, this is not a bad line this one.
00:02 Favourites, Red Bank Harry, drawn the inside, 1740 the journey, they're close.
00:08 And the green light on the tab mobile away, and Red Bank Harry, the favoured away, the best here.
00:13 We've got one from out wide here, Glamours Symbol, who's being sent forward
00:16 with a great deal of urgency here, so here comes Glamours Symbol.
00:20 It looks as though it will get across most of the field, but not Red Bank Harry who leads.
00:24 Glamours Symbol, just dropped the anchor there in the breeze, wants some cover.
00:28 Going through, Dust2Diamonds will go through second.
00:31 Further back, Hilly, who's three back the inside, and then Amber Alert,
00:34 who just had to ease there and went back fifth, one out, one back.
00:37 It's being tracked up by Glamour Fox, and then Napoli Knights.
00:40 Fifty Shades of Hay is back towards the end of the field as they come into the stretch.
00:44 And well, that's alright, as the last one with a field of nine coming down the home running.
00:49 So the lead time 8.6, a 29.2 first quarter, and the front runner for Cody, Rockenberger.
00:55 It is Red Bank Harry, a circuit to go. Let out from Dust2Diamonds,
00:59 who's getting pretty keen, leaders back there for Pete McRae.
01:02 It's running second as they leave the straight.
01:05 Further back in the field then to Glamours Symbol, who worked early,
01:08 but parks third now, the outside from Hilly, who's three back the inside, running fourth,
01:12 and then Amber Alert, the outside, running fifth.
01:14 Napoli Knights next on the inside from Glamour Fox, towards the back as Fifty Shades of Hay.
01:19 And also, well, that's alright. That's the order, about 700 metres remaining.
01:23 That second quarter, a real breather there, 31.3.
01:27 Red Bank Harry, the favourite, had a nice little breather mid-race.
01:30 Now runs down towards the 600 metres in control by four or five over Glamour Symbol second.
01:36 Then came Dust2Diamonds, the 13-year-olds right behind this leader,
01:39 in behind those Amber Alert, who now pulls to the outside three deep.
01:43 Hilly further back, and then came Glamour Fox, with also Napoli Knights getting away from the pigs.
01:48 And further back, Fifty Shades of Hay starting a run's going to have to come extremely wide.
01:52 And well, that's alright, goes for an inside run.
01:54 But on the turn, it's Red Bank Harry, 30.1.
01:57 It really has had a nice run at the Head of Affairs.
01:59 And it leads from Dust2Diamonds, who follows it into the straight.
02:02 It's Red Bank Harry first to swing over Dust2Diamonds.
02:05 And then Hilly, who goes back to the inside, running unfairly.
02:08 It's Glamour Fox out wide, but it's Red Bank Harry in front for Rockenberger.
02:11 I don't think they're going to get it.
02:13 And it's Red Bank Harry who wins it second.
02:16 Dust2Diamonds and Glamour Fox into third ahead of Hilly.
02:19 And further back in the field, well, that's alright.
02:22 Then came Napoli Knights, and further back Fifty Shades of Hay with Amber Alert.
02:26 And the runner that finished back in last there as they went across the line was Glamour
02:30 Simbel, who worked extremely hard early.
02:32 28.7, 158.4.
02:34 (laughing)
