Croser Brisbane Cup (G2)
Moriarty managed to get a reasonably good run from his wide barrier (16) and settled about twelfth one off the rails. He moved up wide with cover from the 700m but was still giving the leader about six lengths at the 300m. He pushed between runners at the 200m and came with a fast late run to win going away by a length. Quintessential was a handy fifth one off the rails most of the way to the 600m. She was held up briefly at the home turn but got a nice run through on straightening to be third at the 300m. She looked the winner when she took the lead at the 200m but she could not hold of the winner’s quick finishing burst, running her usual very honest race for second. Zennista went forward from her wide barrier (17) to take the lead at the 2000m point. She then set a reasonable pace, leading the field the rest of the way to the 200m, then holding on well for third, beaten just over a length. Lightinthenite was near last in the large 18-horse field before improving wide with cover from the 800m. He went very wide from the 600m and kept fighting on gamely in the straight for fourth, beaten two lengths, putting up a good effort. Rothera was midfield on the rails to the turn and battled on well, along the rails in the final stages to finish fifth. *ANZ
