Brown Baldwin William Reid (G1)
Lucky Hussler was a bit slowly away from barrier two and settled in eighth place on the rails. He was travelling well coming to the home turn and Glen Boss angled him between runners, switching deep and into clear running on straightening. He then showed a good turn of foot to hit the front on passing the 100m and he then went on to win impressively by almost two lengths in a smart first-up performance. Vain Queen was caught three wide (without cover) in third place from barrier nine. She took the lead on turning for home and fought well for a good second after a difficult trip. Griante ($31) was midfield and wide, moved up very deep rounding the home turn and battled on very well for a surprisingly good third. It Is Written was back in tenth place, between runners. He got a run through in the centre from the home turn and made good ground for (2 lengths) fourth. The well supported Earthquake ($4.50 fav) settled in fourth place but became hemmed in nearing the home turn. She then went to the post quite well to finish (2.8 lengths) fifth, without getting the opportunity to be tested in the straight. Rebel Dane was sixth, three wide with cover. He got a split at the home turn and battled on fairly well for a first-up (2.9 lengths) sixth. Angelic Light was seventh, between runners, switched into clear running rounding the home turn but just held her ground from there for (3 lengths) seventh.
