TURF
GOOD
German-bred stayer Almandin was impressive in taking out this race, his second win in succession after winning the Harry White Classic (Listed, 2400m) at Caulfield on 24 September. He settled back in seventh place, behind a good tempo. He improved between runners rounding the home turn, took the lead at the 200m and went on to score easily, running the 2500m out strongly. Zanteca settled back in second last place in the 11-horse field, she improved well on straightening, eased deeper to get clear running at the 200m and then finished really well, late, for a good second. Excess Knowledge raced sixth place, improved well at the home turn, got to fourth at the 300m and then fought well to take the minor placing.
