Tab.Com.Au Canberra Cup (LR)

WT: 54.0kg Type: OPEN

Hippopus went to the front as expected and settled really well in front, setting quite a reasonable tempo (first 1400m 1:27.80). He picked up the pace from the 600m, got a break on turning for home and then went on to score a good win, without being seriously threatened at any stage in the straight. Off The Rails soon crossed from his wide barrier (10) and raced in second place most of the way. He was under pressure as the pace lifted at the 600m but continued to fight on for a sound second, without troubling the winner. Top weight Centre Pivot settled in ninth place on the rails, improved wide out from the 600m, got to third at the 200m and then battled well for a sound third. Favourite Arab Dawn raced in eighth place, improved between runners rounding the home turn but was under pressure at the 200m and just battled from that point to finish (4.8 lengths) fourth.
