Telstra Phonewords Stakes (G3)
Thermal Current enjoyed a good trip from his inside barrier (1) racing in third place on the rails. He was travelling well but was blocked on straightening before Ben Melham angled the colt back to the rails at the 100m. He then came with a strong finish to grab a good (long head) win. The lightly raced and promising colt Not Listenin’tome travelled well in seventh spot on the rails. He switched out to be fifth approaching the turn, fanned wide at the bend, challenged strongly at the 100m and was just caught in the last few strides for a very good second which was his first defeat in three starts. It was a big rise in class today and he has a lot of potential. Selectify, a winner of his only start in a recent Bendigo Maiden, raced keenly in fifth place, one off the rails. He hung out rounding the home turn and then battled on strongly in the straight for a close third. He also looks destined for better things. The NZ filly Ruud Awakening led the field to the 100m point and just held on to take fourth. *ANZ
