00:00 So getting set, we've got Captain's Catch drawn one, Hyperactive, Captain Tom.
00:06 How is this going to play out?
00:08 All set now.
00:10 Tab Mobile rounds the turn for the Tab Regional Championship Final Riverina.
00:15 Listed classic, hot favourite Hyperactive, green light on the Tab Mobile, they are away
00:20 and from out wide to Teefers being sent forward, so too Captain Tom and Captain's Catch is
00:25 trying to hold it out.
00:26 They are going a million miles an hour.
00:28 Captain Tom, Nathan Jack wants to cross at all costs.
00:31 Around the turn they go, the bend comes up, driving up on the inside, Captain's Catch
00:35 I think is going to hold the front but boy they burned early and Mikulic got the lead
00:39 with Captain's Catch.
00:41 Captain Tom had a red hot go for the front but couldn't get there and here comes Hyperactive
00:45 who now is on the scene very quickly as Nathan Jack jams on the brakes with Captain Tom and
00:50 it goes back third.
00:52 Fireworks early, then Wild Imagination.
00:54 Early stages so Wild Imagination settling down over on the inside and then came to Teefer
00:59 who has managed to get the spot over on the pegs, not bad driving there.
01:02 To come from the outside has now set a field over on the inner.
01:06 Joyce's Lad is now going up into a handy position with cover behind Captain Tom who is being
01:11 restrained looking for cover so Joyce's Lad follows at one out, one back.
01:15 In behind those then to Brooklyn's Best and they are being followed as they settle down
01:19 in the race there by Burton who is over on the inside towards the end of the field also
01:23 Maresco, then came Pete's Big Jim who is settling in the back half of the field as they come
01:28 around the turn and also here comes Bobby back behind those.
01:31 So into the straight they come, they've completed the lap.
01:34 It was 45.4 in fireworks early but it's Captain's Catch who held the front, locally trained,
01:39 leads out by two over Captain Tom the outside running second and further back in the field
01:44 then to the favourite which is Hyperactive who is right behind them.
01:47 It's running third and then came Joyce's Lad who's got itself into a handy spot.
01:51 Joyce running fourth on the outside, a little bit further back then Wild Imagination.
01:55 Then came Brooklyn's Best who's in the running line.
01:58 We're starting to see some runs develop now and it's Monies on Matilda who's being sent
02:02 forward and following it there is Brooklyn's Best who's coming into the race.
02:06 Gee, Captain Tom is gone.
02:08 Over on the inside to Teefa, Pete's Big Jim starts a burst further back in the field then
02:12 to Burton who's a long way back in the race being followed at the head of the others there
02:16 by Maresco who's dropping out of it.
02:18 Captain Tom's the one that's dropped out the back so the first quarter was 31-1.
02:21 It's a 29-5 second quarter.
02:24 Off the far side they go and it's Captain's Catch who just led and going up second there
02:27 is Joyce's Lad who's starting to put in a bid for victory.
02:30 Jack Painting moves up solidly now.
02:32 We've got the favourite which is Hyperactive under lock and key, desperately needs to go
02:36 out.
02:37 Painting goes for home the third quarter, 28.5.
02:39 Joyce's Lad has taken the lead, top of the straight, following it through is Brooklyn's
02:42 Best.
02:43 Now Hyperactive's got away from the inside.
02:45 Captain's Catch can't go with Joyce's Lad at the moment as they turn in the straight
02:49 and the lead of Joyce's Lad coming at it now is Brooklyn's Best who's coming with a burst.
02:53 Hyperactive behind them and then Pete's Big Jim but down the straight it's Pete McRae
02:56 going for glory with Brooklyn's Best who's burst away and he's going to win it.
