Maribyrnong Trial Stakes (LR)
Nomothaj looked quite professional in winning here, breaking quickly from barrier six to take up the early running, the entire field heading towards the inside rail. At the crossing she co-led and inside the 300m jockey Stephen Baster asked the question and she responded well yet there were four real chances at the 200m. Maintaining a solid clip, she edged very slightly ahead then had to withstand a persistent challenge short of the line but held on determinedly by a nose - a good effort and in a fairly good time. Ranier was widest but handy enough at the crossing, moved closer at the 300m and challenged strongly over the last 100m only to be held by a nose from the favourite Sunlight, who was always close to the lead but faded a little over the last 100m, not far away in third.
