H.D.F. McNeil Stakes (G3)

Age: 3yo Type: OPEN

The smart David Hayes-trained colt Fast ‘N’ Rocking broke through for his first win in nine starts after a number of noteworthy placings in strong company. Brett Prebble eased him from the barrier and settled fifth, one off the rails, travelling well. He switched out four wide on turning for home, put in a quick run to take the lead at the 100m and he then went on to score impressively by two lengths. Prince Harada was a little slow to move and settled second last on the rails in the seven-horse field. He went for a run in the centre at the 300m before switching to the rails at the 100m, but he was then badly crowded and checked. He ran on again, late, to grab second in a photo and looked unlucky. Thermal Current had a good trip in third place to the turn. He challenged at the 200m and kept fighting on well for a good third. The previously unbeaten Miracles Of Life began very quickly and was eased to raced outside the leader (Divine Calling). However, she then raced very keenly, pulling in the early stages before taking the lead at the 300m. The early efforts told in the closing stages and she tired to finish a sound first-up fourth. Divine Calling showed good pace, leading the field until half way down the straight, before battling on for fifth. *ANZ
