Mitty's Mc Ewen Stakes (G2)
Angelic Light settled in an ideal position, third on the rails, from her inside barrier (1). She then travelled nicely behind a solid pace before moving up at the home turn. She challenged strongly at the 100m and proved a bit too good to win by a short head in a surprise result, but it was a smart performance nevertheless. Lankan Rupee was quickly away from his outside barrier (9) and raced outside the leader (Eloping) at a good tempo. He got the better of that filly shortly after turning for home but could not hold off the late-closing winner after his early efforts at his first run since April to finish second. Eloping showed her customary pace to lead and led the field into the straight and then fought on quite well for third, beaten two and a quarter lengths. It Is Written made good ground from a distant fifth on the rails to finish (2.7 lengths) fourth. Three-year-old colt Orujo was fourth, one out and one back, to the turn and battled on in this strong class for (3.7 lengths) fifth. Cauthen was a distant seventh on the rails to the turn and kept battling on quite well for sixth, beaten five and a half lengths, at his first run since January. *ANZ
