Moonga Stakes (G3)

Age: 4yo and up Type: OPEN

Last start Epsom Handicap (Gr 1, 1600m) winner Boban was eased from his outside barrier (12) and settled in last place. He was improving along the rails but was checked passing the 600m and dropped out to last at the turn, some ten lengths from the leader. He was compensated by obtaining a rails run from the 300m point but he showed a terrific turn of foot to take advantage of it, going to third at the 150m. He then finished too well for a narrow but soft win at the post. In was an impressive win, his fourth in succession. Strawberry Boy led most of the way and looked the winner when he grabbed a break shortly after straightening. But he found the winner a bit too classy in the final stages, holding on for a good long head second. Galah was eighth between runners to the 600m, finally got into clear running at the 250m then ran on nicely to take third, beaten a length and half. Mic Mac was seventh on the rails, switched out on straightening and fought on for fourth while Pinwheel was midfield between runners, before switching wide rounding the home turn. He then battled on fairly well for fifth, beaten just under three lengths. *ANZ
