Dato' Tan Chin Nam Stakes (G2)
Bonneval continued on from her super autumn with an excellent fresh-up win here, displaying her typically strong finish yet again. She began well but at the 1000m was third last, one out, yet rider Damian Lane sat unhurried and lost another place past the 800m. Giving the leaders about six lengths, they moved out approaching the last corner and before straightening were widest but gathering them in. Short of the straight they were now fourth and travelling well, levelled up at the 200m and surged to the lead. Lane gave her a reminder or two at the 100m and she kept on strongly to the line, her fifth win in succession and sixth from nine starts. Abbey Marie also put up a top performance, last on the inner down the side, got on to Bonneval's back into the straight and finished very well for second, trying hard all the way. The first two were well clear of Rhythm To Spare who was second turning in, passed, then held on best of the rest for a distant third from Jacquinot Bay, who was hard ridden in third turning in and stayed on fairly for fourth. Favourite Star Exhibit reared at the start and lost the rider, Mark Zahra.
