Aami Maribyrnong Plate (G3)
Run Naan could hardly have been more impressive with a slashing win here. Rider Andrew Mallyon was in no hurry from barrier six and they settled second last (rails) at the crossing. On to the course proper he had to wait until the 300m before pulling out but once into the clear accelerated quickly, raced up to the leaders at the 100m and was travelling so strongly, was coming away at the line to remain unbeaten in two starts. Encryption had a great view, four deep at the 400m, made a solid run at the leaders from the 200m and looked a major chance until the winner flew by. Belzella was always handy, led or co-led at the 300m, was passed inside the 100m but fought back well to claim third from Bionics, who made a promising run from the 300m, flashing into fourth late.
