Darley Kingsford-Smith Cup (G1)

Age: 3yo and up Type: OPEN

Clearly Innocent, a very good winner of the Luskin Star Stakes (Listed, 1300m) at Scone at his second run this preparation for new trainer Kris Lees was even more impressive in winning here, his first victory at Group One level. He settled back in third last place in the 13-horse field, behind a good pace, improved (wide with cover) from the 700m, got to fourth at the 300m, took the lead at the 100m and went on to score a very smart win, handling the conditions well. Noted wet-tracker Jungle Edge went to the front, claimed what looked a winning break on turning for home and was only headed at the 100m to finish second after running a bold race. Counterattack raced back in tenth place, improved (wide with cover) from the 700m, went to third at the 200m and held on nicely for a good third. Impending was seventh on the rails, got through on the inner at the home turn and battled on for (8.1 lengths) fourth. The favourite Black Heart Bart settled in second last place in the 13-horse field, commenced a move nearing the home turn and kept steadily making ground (under riding) in the straight to finish (9.1 lengths) fifth, without looking dangerous at any stage on the affected track.
