Surround Stakes (G1)
The Myer Classic (registered as Empire Rose Stakes) (Gr 1, 1600m) winner Shoals scored a very smart second-up victory, her second at the elite level and her sixth win in nine starts. She settled nicely in second place, moved up to the leader (Shumookh) at the 200m, got to the front at the 100m and then fought back gamely to score quite impressively. Torvill raced near the tail of the 11-horse field, tracked up well (with cover) approaching the home turn, put in a strong run from the 200m and kept running on in good style for a very good second. Shumookh soon drove through from her inside barrier (1) to lead. She then set a good tempo, got a break at the 300m and battled on well to dead-heat for third with Rimraam who had been a handy third all the way and did well in battling on gamely. The favourite Alizee settled near last from her wide barrier (10), improved between runners at the 200m and looked dangerous shortly afterwards. But she just kept battling on over the latter stages for (1.8 lengths) sixth.
