Vrc Sires' Produce Stakes (G2)
The favourite Jameka was quickly away from her outside barrier (12), crossed to race outside the leader (Well Sighted) and they then steadied the tempo significantly (first 800m 50.29). She went to the front at the 400m and then fought back in good style to score her first win in four starts. Lazumba went back from barrier ten and raced in last place in the 12-horse field to the 600m. She improved between runners nearing the home turn, switched deep on straightening and challenged strongly at the 200m. She then fought gamely for a very promising second, her second such placing in only two starts to date. Godolphin’s colt Sampeah began well and raced in fifth place, between runners. He got through to third at the 200m and then battled on to hold that position to the post, beaten just over three lengths.
