Hyland Colours Autumn Stakes (G2)
Mahuta made it six wins in succession with another victory here, albeit very narrowly on this occasion. He was a bit slow to move but soon drove through from his inside barrier (1) to take the lead. He then steadied the early pace before increasing the tempo significantly from the 800m and grabbed a clear break rounding the home turn. He was being overhauled nearing the post but had enough in hand to score in a photo, in another smart effort. Three-year-old filly Sailing By raced back in fourth place, got along the rails from the 300m and made a lot of late ground to just miss in a photo in good first-up effort. Snoopy was back in third place to the home turn and fought on particularly well in the straight for a good third. Tarzino was a distant ninth at the home turn and really caught the eye, running on late for (1.4 lengths) fourth, in a bold first-up run after winning the Victoria Derby (Gr 1,2500m) on 31 October. Favourite Holler chased the leader from the 800m but was under pressure at the home turn. He then weakened on passing the 200m to finish (2.9 lengths) fifth, looking tested by the 1400m and the solid mid-race tempo.
