Hilton Hotels & Resorts Stakes (LR)
Palentino advanced quickly from winning a Stawell ThreeYear-Old Maiden (1300m) on 12 October at his second start to scoring a very good win in Listed class here. He was eighth (three wide) in the early stages, improved to fifth (still deep) at the 600m before travelling up strongly nearing the 200m. He got to the front at the 100m and drew clear to win impressively after a wide trip. Favourite Demonstrate was deep early on but soon crossed to settle outside the leader (Secret Prophet). He looked the winner when he moved up to take the lead at the 300m but he was overtaken at the 100m and then fought on for a sound second, conceding 4kg to the winner. Ngarimu, a winner on debut in a Seymour Maiden (1300m) on 18 October, settled in sixth place, between runners. He improved in the centre (under riding) from the 300m and kept battling on well for a promising third at only his second race start, looking suited to further. Secret Prophet went to the front, held the lead until nearing the 300m and held on for fourth, beaten just under five lengths.
