Galilee Series Final (LR)
Lycurgus gave them all a start but stayed best over the 2400m. He settled last with a circuit to run and still last in a compact field at the 1600m. Rider Daniel Moor waited patiently until the 1000m before pushing forward yet still last but only six lengths from the lead at the 600m. Into the short Caulfield straight he went wide, found a gap and thrust through, emerging from the pack inside the 200m and taking over with a 100m to go to win well by a length. Miss Strathallan was wide at the 600m and widest turning in but kept up a strong gallop to grab second just short of the post. Perthesia led turning in, broke clear but was gathered in by the winner at the 100m and at the 50m by Miss Strathallan. Bint El Bedu had every chance and battled into a distant fourth.
