Pago Pago Stakes (G2)
Sidestep enjoyed a good run one out and one back to the turn. He was giving the leader (Dothraki) about four lengths at the 300m, he took a little while to wind up but he finished gamely from that point to win well by just over a length, going away. Dothraki led and set a reasonable pace (first 600m 35.78) and looked to have pinched a winning break at the 300m, only to tire in the closing stages for second. Fuerza was about seventh one off the rails. He was under pressure from the 600m point, gradually making ground in the sprint home (leaders running last 600m 34.71) to just take third. Diamond Oasis was third on the rails to the turn but seemed flat-footed when the pace quickened, battling on for fourth. Debut runner One Step Beyond was sixth on the rails and held on fairly well for fifth. *ANZ
