Simpson Constr. Typhoon Tracy (G3)
The Darren Weir-trained filly Brugal Reward, suited by a strong early tempo, ran on well to score her first stakes win in 13 starts. She was ridden quietly from her wide barrier (11) and raced in second last place in the 11-horse field before switching deep rounding the home turn. She then sprinted quickly, challenged at the 50m and finished too well to score a very good win. Modern Wonder was smartly away and raced outside the leader (Magnatti), that pair then holding out a number of challengers from the 600m. Modern Wonder then went to the front at the 100m and was only caught nearing the post to finish second in a really good first up effort after working most of the race. Selenia was caught deep from her wide barrier (10) and raced in seventh place before moving up widest of all at the 600m. She challenged at the 100m and then fought very well for a close up third despite a difficult trip. Gridelin settled in ninth place (wide with cover), tracked up well at the 600m but was shuffled back at the home turn. She then ran on again, late for an unlucky (0.6 lengths) fourth while the favourite Improvement had a good run in fourth place, challenged nearing the home turn but just battled in the straight for (2.6 lengths) eighth after appearing to have had every chance.
