Grafton Cup (LR)

Age: 3yo and up WT: 55kg Type: OPEN

Chris Munce-trained stayer First Crush followed recent seconds in the Ipswich Cup (Listed, 2150m) and the Caloundra Cup (Listed, 2400m) with a good win here. He settled well back in 12th place in the 16-horse field before commencing a wide move from the 600 metres. He hit the front (wide out) at the 100m before going on to score well by a length at the post. The $101 outsider Winkler raced in eighth place, moved up deep rounding the home turn, challenged at the 100m and battled on to take second in a photo from the late-closing favourite Reneged who came from tenth at the home turn with a wide run to grab third in the final strides.
