Aami Hobart Cup (G3)

WT: 54kg Type: OPEN

The Darren Weir-trained stayer Hurdy Gurdy Man settled seventh on the rails. Glen Boss asked the $3.75 favourite to improve at the 600m and he switched between runners, narrowly avoiding trouble, nearing the home turn. He got into the clear at the 300m, when he was giving the leader about four lengths, and kept finishing strongly, taking the lead at the 100m and going on for a comfortable win. Local stayer The Cleaner led most of the way, increasing the pace from the 600m and straightened a clear leader. He was only grabbed in the closing stages, finishing 1.3 lengths second putting up a very honest effort. Last year’s winner Geegees Blackflash raced in about sixth place, travelling well, before putting in a run at the 600m. He loomed up wide out at the turn, got to second at the 200m then fought on under his top weight (59.5kg) for a gallant 1.4 lengths third. The mare Lucky Angel was back about tenth at the 1000m and went wide from the 600m. She turned for home wide out and kept running on to finish a sound 1.6 lengths fourth. Fieldmaster had a nice trip in fourth place on the rails. He got though to third at the 200m then batted on for fifth after seeming to have every chance. *ANZ
