Kingston Town Stakes (G3)
He’s Your Man travelled well in sixth place, one off the rails. He moved up nicely (wide out) rounding the home turn, got to the lead at the 300m and then went on to win in good style by a length and a quarter. It was a smart effort and he could add further staying races over the carnival. Kingdoms was ridden patiently and remained near the tail of the 14-horse field to the 600m. He fanned deep rounding the home turn, put in a good run getting to second at the 100m and then battled on well to hold that position to the post. Deane Martin travelled nicely in seventh place on the rails, was held up for a run on straightening before switching into the clear at the 300m. He then battled on well for a sound third. Lucky Chappy was ninth on the rails, got between runners at the 300m and fought on for fourth. The favourite La Amistad was fourth to the 600m, moved up nearing the turn but disappointed in the straight to finish (4.3 lengths) seventh while the second favourite Greatwood led to the 300m and also disappointed, tiring to finish 13th, beaten just over seven lengths.
