Hilton Hotels & Resorts Stakes (LR)
Dothraki settled outside the leader (Barbed) travelling nicely at a moderate tempo (first 800m 49.12). He challenged shortly after straightening, drew to a narrow lead at the 250m and then battled gamely to score in a photo. He then also survived a protest from the runner-up for alleged interference in the latter stages. Suavito was back in eighth spot to the 800m before improving three wide with cover from the 600m. She put in a good run from the 200m, was crowded for room after passing the 100m and battled gamely for second, protesting unsuccessfully against the winner. Consorting was back in tenth place to the 600m. He fanned wide passing the 400m and came with a late run for a close third. Apollo’s Choice was near the rear to the turn, switched wide at the 400m and ran on nicely for fifth while the favourite Barbed ($3.70) led the field until the half way down the straight and then tired under his top weight (58.5kg) to finish two lengths fifth. *ANZ
