Schweppervescence Trophy (G3)
Bonaria raced in seventh place on the rails most of the way to the turn. She stuck to the inside and got right through from the 300m to grab a long neck win at the post, despite being unsuited by the sprint home tactics of the race. Spirit Song was fourth on the rails and got a split at the 200m, battling on well for a sound second and was also unsuited by the tempo. Hi Belle was eighth on the outer to the home turn, before moving up nicely in the straight, looking a winning chance at the 200m then kept battling on for a close third. Storm Burst was sixth to the 600m, put in a run at the 400m, then fought on for fourth while Rose Pattern led and slowed the pace (first 1000m 63.05sec) before pinching a break at the 400m then tiring for fifth. *ANZ
