Phar Lap Stakes (G2)
Toydini, who was having his second run from a spell after being gelded, settled midfield. He was about six lengths from the leader at the 600m, switched out on straightening and came with a strong run to win going away by just over two lengths. Ninth Legion raced in second spot outside the leader (Indianapolis), looked the winner when he drew to the lead at the 300m but had no answer to Tondini’s late run to finish second. Force Command was third on the rails, got through on the inside at the 200m, where he looked a winning chance, before battling on for the minor placing. Albrecht was a handy fourth to the turn and seemed to have every chance before finishing fourth. While the favourite Ashokan ($3.20) was near last to the turn and made ground to finish fifth without looking a threat. *ANZ
