Chairman's Stakes (G3)
The Gai Waterhouse-trained Nayeli ($3 fav) has now raced twice for two wins and is clearly a very smart filly. She was ridden for pace in the early stages by Vlad Duric and she quickly improved from her good barrier (4) to settle outside the leader and main rival Bugatty ($5.50). She travelled well and applied pressure to the leader as soon as the field turned for home. She drew clear at the 100m and then increased her lead to score impressively by two and a quarter lengths. Bugatty was quickly away and led the field to the 150m. He found the winner too strong, especially with her 3kg pull in the weights, and battled on quite well for a sound second. Cautious had a good trip from her barrier (3), racing in third place on the rails to the turn. She then held on in the straight to take third, beaten four and half lengths, clearly finding the first pair superior. Zululand did not show much pace from his inside barrier (1) and settled seventh on the rails. He was under riding from the turn and kept running on along the rails for a four and three quarter lengths fourth, narrowly missing third in a photo. *ANZ
