Magic Millions Cup

WT: 54kg Type: Qlty

Gai Waterhouse-trained five-year-old Spurtonic scored a good first-up win. He was ridden patiently from his wide barrier (10) and settled back in tenth place following a good tempo (first 800m 47.35). He was under riding nearing the home turn, got a split at the 300m, went to fourth at the 200m and kept running on to grab a head win at the post. It was quite a good effort and an excellent ride by Hugh Bowman. Strawberry Boy went to the front as usual and ran along at a good pace. He looked the winner when still in front at the 100m but was caught nearing the post for second. The Bowler was sixth, between runners, switched into clear running (wide) on straightening and kept running on well for a close-up third. Driefontein, stablemate of the winner, was caught wide from barrier 11 and raced in about eighth place (without cover). But she still ran on gamely in the straight under her top weight (59.5kg) for a very good fourth, beaten just under a length. It was a very good effort.
