Seven News Australian Oaks (G1)
Rising Romance was given a great trip by James McDonald, racing sixth on the rails. She improved to fourth nearing the home turn, grabbed the lead at the 300m and fought back well to score by a length, in a good staying performance. Zanbagh travelled well, racing midfield one off the rails. She improved well (out deep) approaching the home turn but was under riding on straightening. She then kept making ground, getting to a length of the winner at the post to take second. The favourite Lucia Valentina was well back again, racing in 14th place to the 800m. She moved up well (wide out) at the 600m, fanned deep on turning for home and continued to make ground for a sound third, beaten just over a length. Forever Loved was third on the rails to the 600m, challenged at the 300m and then fought on well for a good (3.2 lengths) fourth while Interspersed made ground from 13th at the turn for (5.6 lengths) fifth. *ANZ
