00:00 Coming along now for the Ben Studd Standerbrooks River Interchampionship Mayors Final.
00:05 Group 1, $100,000 event, Major Delight $2.25.
00:12 It's Major Delight taking on Luke McCarthy's two stars here and they're all set to go.
00:17 First of our Group 1, here go the Mayors, the Greenlight from the TAB Mobile and they're
00:22 underway.
00:23 So first away here is Scheming who begins well and so too does Not To Be Denied who's
00:29 going away nice.
00:30 We've got Bettis Moon who's tucked away on the inside but Jack Painting wants the front
00:34 or at least gets across to the inside.
00:36 About to be attacked from the runners out wide and the momentum's coming here from Not
00:40 To Be Denied and also Pardis Shavell who's gone up into second.
00:43 Scheming's tucked away third.
00:45 Now looking for some of the fancied runners.
00:47 Major Delight was very wide.
00:48 It's being eased back to the tail at the moment.
00:50 Just ahead of it there is Jewel Melody who's back about fourth last and out wide.
00:54 So down the far side and it's Not To Be Denied who went to the front for Callaghan.
00:58 Now out of the pack, I Keep Smiling of Stablemates going up on the outside and might look for
01:02 the front here and also improving its position as Jewel Melody as they go inside the mile
01:07 47.6.
01:08 So eventually it's I Keep Smiling who goes to the front.
01:11 Luke McCarthy takes over, crossed at Stablemate, Not To Be Denied and here goes Major Delight
01:15 who's working around into the breeze.
01:17 So the big guns are up there early.
01:19 Further back then to Jewel Melody who now gets cover.
01:22 It's fourth one out one back.
01:23 Over on the inside is Scheming, Pardis Shavell.
01:26 In came Beardersmoon who's tucked away four back the inside from She's The Reason.
01:30 Behind those in turn, Eidillon Dreams who's settling down about third last.
01:34 Over on the inside about five runners back and towards the end of the field is Wendy
01:37 Hiltara who's one from the back who hasn't made a move and Sporty Mary towards the end
01:42 is last of all.
01:43 So after a 47.6 lead time they ran that first quarter in 30.5 and Major Delight and Mark
01:49 Pitt may have just have been in front as they went past us with a circuit to go.
01:52 So Major Delight up on the outside certainly keeping the leader honest and as they go towards
01:57 the back straight it's I Keep Smiling on the inside and also Major Delight.
02:02 They're locked in battle at the moment as they go towards the half mile.
02:04 8.50 to go.
02:06 Now up on the outside is Jewel Melody running third.
02:08 The inside then came Not To Be Denied running fourth.
02:11 They're being followed by Pardis Shavell.
02:12 Scheming over on the inside and in came She's The Reason.
02:15 Beardersmoon further back worse than centre field.
02:18 Wendy Hiltara next to the running line being followed then by Eidillon Dreams and last
02:22 of all there is Sporty Mary.
02:24 So down the far side again Major Delight is pouring on the pressure.
02:27 I Keep Smiling the inside is still there only a neck away.
02:30 Fights back hits the front again.
02:32 They work off the back straight so a 31.4 second quarter.
02:35 The third quarter's in 27.9.
02:38 Race on now and kicking back is I Keep Smiling.
02:42 Major Delight about two and a half metres away.
02:44 They sprint up and then came Not To Be Denied who's about to angle back to the inside as
02:48 they turn for home.
02:49 It's I Keep Smiling coming to the outside as it's Stablemate Not To Be Denied in the
02:54 straight.
02:55 I Keep Smiling Not To Be Denied sprinting strongly down to the wire.
02:59 I Keep Smiling Not To Be Denied.
03:01 Oh I think Not To Be Denied might have grabbed it.
03:04 I Keep Smiling right there the inside from Major Delight who was about 10 metres away
03:08 back in third but the Stablemates in a desperately close photo.
03:12 She's The Reason behind those as well being followed by Jewel Melody also scheming and
03:17 further back is Sporty Mary in behind those also we had the likes of Pardis Shavell who
03:22 finished back in company towards the end of the field with Wendy Hiltara.
