Inglis Premier
The Team Hawkes-trained two-year-old Gold Force won impressively here on debut. He was cramped at the start, losing ground but soon recovered and drove through to take the lead. He then travelled well and was able to steady the pace, before moving clear rounding the home turn and was untroubled to win by two and three quarter lengths. The Paul Perry-trained Modoc ($2.25 fav) did not show much early pace and settled second last in the 11-horse field. He improved wide with cover at the 600m, fanned deep approaching the home turn, got to fourth at the 200m and kept running on for a sound second, without threatening. It was a nice effort nevertheless and he should appreciate further. The Tony Vasil-trained filly Fontein Ruby was a handy third on the rails and kept battling on in the straight to hold the minor placing, beaten four lengths. Congress ($21) raced outside the leader to the turn and held on for fourth while the second favourite Grande Rosso ($4) was handy all the way and battled on in the straight for fifth, beaten five lengths. *ANZ
