Tab.Com.Au Canberra Cup (LR)
The Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott-trained Dark Eyes took his record to three wins from his last four starts in taking out his first race at stakes level. He was smartly away from his good barrier (3) and settled nicely in fifth place on the rails, behind a solid tempo before moving up well rounding the home turn. He got to the front nearing the 100m and then dug deep to score a really good win. Cool Chap settled in well back in ninth place, one off the rails, before making a wide move at the 600m. He improved nicely at the home turn, challenged strongly at the 200m and kept fighting very well for second in a solid staying effort. Coolcat Dancer settled well back in tenth place on the rails, got along the inner coming to the home turn and went through quickly to be in a challenging position at the 200m. He then kept battling on well to take the minor placing.
