W.A.T.C.Derby (G2)

Age: 3yo Type: OPEN

Gatting followed up his good win in the Melvista Stakes (Listed, 2200m) to take out this race in impressive fashion. He was sixth early on (one off the rails), improved behind runners from the 800m before getting a split to challenge on turning for home. He took the lead at the 200m and then drew away to score a very strong win, running the 2400m out well. The WA Oaks (Gr 3, 2400m) winner Very Tempting was a handy third early on, was shuffled back to eighth at the 600m before getting between runners on straightening. She went to a distant third at the 100m and then ran on really well (late) for second, without looking likely to threaten the winner.
