Incognitus Blamey Stakes (G2)
The scratching of Black Heart Bart took a lot of the interest away from this race, leaving a small yet quite good field, his stablemates eventually finishing first and second. Palentino broke well from barrier two to lead briefly but soon after drifted slightly to settle third against the rails, where he remained to the 800m. Jockey Mark Zahra eased the entire away from the fence near the 600m and approaching the last corner had him perfectly positioned to challenge, which they did passing the 300m. Zahra shook him up and he bounded clear to win as he liked by more than three lengths at the post. Tosen Stardom sat outside the leader around the big bend and into the straight, co-led at the 300m but never looked like catching the winner, battling away to hold second. Harlem was fourth turning and ran on to grab a late but distant third. Real Love was fifth at the top of the straight, looked like running into third but was nabbed on the line.
