Absolut Stakes (LR)
Ball Of Muscle, who has raced consistently in quality sprints for some time, broke through in dominant fashion for his first win since taking out the BTC Cup (Gr 2, 1200m) at Doomben in May 2015 in winning this Listed race. He showed his renowned pace, crossing quickly to the Grandstand side to lead the field. He grabbed a good break on passing the 200m and went on to score easily and in quick time (56.81). Crystal Dreamer raced back in seventh place, but not far off the leaders, went to second on passing the 200m and then fought gamely for a really good second. Palazzo Pubblico raced back in eighth place (travelling towards the Grandstand side as did all of the ten runners). She improved nicely from the 200m and then ran on well to take third in a very good first up effort.
