Chris Munce-trained three-year-old Boomsara followed an impressive win at Doomben in the Vo Rogue Plate (Gr 3, 1350m) with another strong front-running performance here, albeit scoring by the barest of margins at the post. He was smartly away from his difficult barrier (13) and soon crossed to the front. He then travelled well under Tim Clark, lifted the pace from the 600m and then fought back to win in a threeway photo finish. Bondi also began well from a wide barrier (12) and then eased to settle in second place. He moved up strongly on straightening and then battled strongly for second, beaten a nose. The favourite Outback Barbie began well and settled well for James McDonald in fifth place on the rails. She went through to third at the 200m and then rallied late, failing by a nose and a nose to catch the winner in finishing third. A protest against the runner-up was subsequently dismissed.
