Darley Classic (G1)

Age: 3yo and up Type: OPEN

The full field of nine all headed to the Grandstand side with Delectation settling in sixth place, close to the outside rail. He was asked for his effort nearing the 200m, challenged between runners at the 100m and finished a bit too well in the sprint home to score a narrow but very good win. Chautauqua was ridden quietly as usual, settled back in second last place. He went towards the centre of the track coming to the 400m, challenged at the 200m and kept battling well for a close second, but not producing his anticipated electric finish, perhaps due to the Soft5 conditions. Terravista was settled on the tail of the field by Hugh Bowman. He put in a good run, towards the outside rail, coming to the 200m, challenged strongly at the 100m and fought gamely for a close-up third. Buffering began brilliantly, went immediately to the front and steadied the early tempo (first 600m 36.06). He was only headed nearing the 100m and fought well for (0.6 lengths) fourth. Srikandi travelled well in fifth place, close to the leaders. She looked a prospect at the 200m and only faded slightly in the closing stages for a good (1.6 lengths) fifth.
