TURF
GOOD
Drive West enjoyed a good run in fourth place, one out and one back but was under riding as the pace picked up nearing the home turn. He responded to challenge at the 200m and then drew clear to score quite comfortably, running the 1800m out well, Young Lionel raced outside the leader (illuminated), got to the front at the 200m and then battled on well for second. Rebelson was sixth on the rails, got out and into clear running on straightening. He then kept making ground, getting up to take third placing. Favourite Illuminated went to the front, raced a bit keenly in the early stages, and weakened on passing the 200m to finish(4.5 lenghts) fifth after winning his past three in succession.
