Mitsubishi Conquering Wfa (LR)
The 2015 Tasmanian Guineas (Listed, 1600m) winner Admiral took his record to ten wins from 15 starts with a smart performance in taking out this Listed race, his fifth at stakes level. He enjoyed a good trip from his inside barrier (1) racing in fourth place on the rails, behind a solid tempo before getting through to take the lead rounding the home turn. He then proved too good in the straight, going on to score decisively. Geegees Goldengirl was back in third place, one off the rails. She challenged strongly nearing the home turn and fought on particularly well for a very good second. Player One raced in last place to the 600m, fanned deep rounding the home turn and finished really well for a good third. Disappointment was The Cleaner. Having his first run since seventh in the Cox Plate (Gr 1, 2040m) at Moonee Valley on 24 October, he raced back in second place, hung out approaching the home turn, was under pressure on straightening and weakened to finish (4.1 lengths) seventh in the eight-horse field.
