Wandong Bus/Coach Kilmore Cup (LR)
Sweet As Bro ($4.75 2nd fav) made in three wins in succession, putting up a game effort. He raced in sixth place, one off the rails, following a good pace. He put in a good run (three wide) on passing the 600m, challenged the favourite (Sistine Demon) at the home turn and after a solid battle, he scored a gutsy (half-neck) win. Sistine Demon ($2.75 fav) began well and soon crossed to the lead, and then maintained a good tempo. He was challenged nearing the home turn and fought back strongly all the way down the straight to miss his sixth successive win by a narrow margin, putting up a game performance. Reparations had a good trip, fifth on the rails, was asked to improve (switching wide) nearing the home turn. He then kept battling on quite well in the straight to take the minor placing, beaten two lengths. Captain Fancypantz was eighth on the rails, improved along the rails coming to the turn and kept running on for a sound (tow and a half lengths) fourth. Last year's Queensland Oaks (Gr 1, 2400m) winner Gondokoro having her second run this preparation, was ell back in second last place in the ten-horse field to the 600m and was hard-ridden, under her 59kg, from that point and made late ground for (nine and a half lengths) sixth. The Gai Waterhouse-trained Kinnersley was third on the rails to the 600m but dropped out to finish a disappointing eighth. *ANZ
