Schweppes Sydney Cup (G1)

Age: 3yo and up WT: 52kg Type: OPEN

Irish import The Offer capped his great recent run of form to take out his first Group One event in decisive fashion. He travelled well, midfield between runners, but was briefly held up for a run nearing the 600m. Tommy Berry switched him across heels at the turn, he then put in a strong run to hit the lead at the 200m and raced away to score by three and three quarter lengths, in an impressive staying performance. Another Irish-bred stayer Opinion was just past midfield, gained an inside run at the 700m, took the lead at the 300m but then found the winner too good from that point to finish second. Sertorius was a handy fifth to the 600m, put in a run on straightening and kept battling on for third. Brigantin was handy all the well and fought on for (5.6 lengths) fourth while Epingle made ground from second last in the 17-horse field at the turn to finish (6.6 lengths) for fifth. The three-year-old Tupac Amaru was always well back and plugged on out wide to take sixth. *ANZ
