Promising Tony McEvoy-trained filly Roomooz was a narrow but impressive winner. She began well, eased to settled in fourth place (one out and one back), behind a reasonable tempo (first 600m 36.29) on the Good 4 track, before moving up nearing the home turn. She got to the front on at the 100m and then held on gamely to score in a photo. The favourite Tulip was smartly away but was eased after being caught deep to settle in fifth place, one off the rails. She tracked the eventual winner (Roomooz) rounding the home turn, challenged at the 100m and kept finishing well for a close second in a smart first-up effort (conceding 2.5kg to the winner). True Excelsior led the field to the home turn held on to take the minor placing in a photo from Limestone who caught the eye running on late for fourth in another smart first up run.
