00:25 Early stages here, Ambiguous went through, Papa Leo restrained.
00:28 The leaders back is Moniz on Matilda about four metres away then as they settle down
00:33 is Royal Exit up on the outside of Brooklyn's Best who takes the spot three back the inside.
00:38 That lead time in 8.3.
00:39 Now Centrefield is Smokeshow who's in that sort of first half and then there's a break
00:43 of about eight metres to Harperville who's improving its position rapidly on the pegs.
00:48 Then came the Texas Ranger towards the back as the Iron Lady who's on the inside and after
00:52 drawing wide, Captain's Catch is back in last.
00:56 17.6, Ambiguous led one circuit to go.
00:59 For Team Teal Ambassador Taylor Osman about three clear.
01:02 Papa Leo tested it early but now sits well off this favourite and is parked second on

01:21 run the second quarter in 31 seconds.
01:24 A little bit of a breather for Ambiguous who goes to the far side leading by three.
01:29 Papa Leo and then came Moniz on Matilda, further back Royal Exit and also Brooklyn's Best fifth.
01:34 The outside is Smokeshow, the pegs there Harperville, further back the Texas Ranger, no real change
01:38 in the order and still the last pair, the Iron Lady over on the inside of Captain's

01:48 It's Ambiguous the third quarter in 28.5.
01:52 Ambiguous led, Papa Leo just put under pressure, Royal Exit forced to go, then Moniz on Matilda
01:57 but Ambiguous is going strongly.
01:59 Further back is Smokeshow who comes to the outside, the deepest runner there is the Texas
02:02 Ranger but in the straight Ambiguous going well for Team Till Ambassador Taylor Osman.
02:07 Taylor had a look around with 100 metres to go, Royal Exit trying hard, the outside the
02:11 Texas Ranger getting home well but it's Ambiguous in front.
02:15 Ambiguous welcome to the 100 club Taylor and it's Ambiguous who beats second the Texas Ranger
02:20 and third would be Harperville and Brooklyn's Best closing off then came further back on
02:25 the field.
02:26 Royal Exit with also the Texas Ranger who finished behind those as well.
02:32 In that bunch, or Texas Ranger with Smokeshow centre field and further back on the field
02:36 then we had Captain's Catch being followed by Papa Leo and further back Moniz on Matilda
02:41 who finished amongst the tail enders, 155.1.
02:45 Ambiguous too strong.
