Sportingbet Series Final (G3)
Griante was away well from her outside barrier but Dwayne Dunn did not want to lead easing his mount across the back of the leaders settling down in sixth position three wide with a trail on the outside of Girl Guide. She travelled well on turning for home and came with a smart turn of foot at the 200m hitting the front at the 100m and holding a clear margin on the line. A good effort especially considering the extra ground she was forced to cover in the run. Girl Guide enjoyed a nice run racing in fourth position one off the fence. She was boxed away behind the leaders on turning for home but secured a split between runners at the 300m. She came with her run responding well to riding but could not match the impressive turn of foot of the winner on her outside. A solid effort in defeat. Shamal Wind was away well but restrained to settle last about seven lengths from the early leader Brilliant Bisc. She scouted wide on the home turn and quickened up impressively closely strongly the whole way to the line to grab third. A good effort after getting too far back in the run.
