M.M. 2yo Clockwise Classic

Age: 2yo Type: OPEN

Claro El Banco showed very good pace from barrier seven in the eight-horse field and was ridden hard in the early stages to find the lead. He then ran along at a strong tempo, setting up a clear lead. He then fought back gamely in the straight, although tiring a bit after his early efforts, he was not seriously threatened to win well. Gai Waterhouse-trained colt Preferito was smartly away and settled in second place, chasing the strong-running front-runner all the way before battling back well to just hold second in a photo. She’s Positive was eased from her outside barrier (8), was a clear last in the early stages and was still at the tail of field and under riding nearing the home turn. She then responded nicely in the straight, running on strongly to just miss second in a photo for a good third, looking suited to further. Rambling Raider was back in fifth place to the home turn and she made ground without threatening for (3.1 lengths) fourth while Bring Me The Bling was back in third place, chasing a strong pace, but she just kept battling in the straight to finish (4.1 lengths) fifth.
