G.H.Mumm Wakeful Stakes (G2)
A last-to-first effort suggests there could be few excuses from the beaten runners with Luvaluva proving the best stayer here. From barrier 12, jockey Blake Shinn was content to let her drift back early, settling equal last (rails), where they remained past the 1400m mark. Last against the fence turning in, Shinn waited patiently then the gaps opened up and one by one she gathered in the entire field and simply outstayed them, sticking her neck out just short of the wire for a fine win. Glam Guru was a handy fourth before they straightened, balanced and went after the leader, co-led two strides from the line but could not hold the late charge of the winner. Rimraam took over at the 300m and fought bravely all the way to the line but was nailed in the last couple of strides from Hiyaam, who had every chance in the straight, lasting best of the rest for fourth.
