Channel Seven Premier's Cup (G3)
Precedence was ridden patiently and raced near the tail of the large 16-horse field. He commenced to improve passing the 800m and moved up wide with cover at the 600m. He went to the extreme outside on the home turn and came with a late run to win going away by a length putting up a good trial for the Brisbane Cup (Gr 2, 2400m) in a fortnight’s time. Less Is More was fifth on the rails to the 600m, got an inside run nearing the turn and took a narrow lead at the 100m before fighting on for second. Zennista was outside the leader (Rialya) most of the way before getting to the lead at the 200m then fighting on for a good third. Studio was seventh between runners before improving wide at the 700m. He challenged four wide at the home turn and kept plugging on quite well for fourth. Shenzhou Steeds was seventh on the rails to the turn and held on for fifth while the favourite Midsummer Sun ($2.70) was handily placed about fifth one off the rails before fanning wide at the home turn. But he disappointed in the straight, dropping out to finish thirteenth, beaten six half lengths. *ANZ
