Millie Fox Stakes (G2)
Top class mare Red Tracer made it three successive Millie Fox Stakes (Gr 2, 1300m) – all being in heavy going, in which she excels. Nash Rawiller gave her a nice trip in third place before switching out passing the 300m. She sprinted to the lead at the 200m and went away to win comfortably (with top weight of 59kg) by a length and three quarters. A Time For Julia ($10) raced outside the leader (Longport), went to the front approaching the 200m but found the winner too classy, holding on for a sound second. The limit weighted mare (54kg) Lucky Lago ($26) was fifth on the rails, went through on the inside turning into the straight and challenged gamely at the 300m. She then held on well for a good third. Last year’s Australian Oaks (Gr 1, 2400m) winner Royal Descent ($4.00) was last in the six-horse field to the 600m before moving up well wide out rounding the home turn. She then kept running on soundly for a promising first-up fourth beaten just over three lengths. She obviously will benefit from the run and also a step-up in distance. *ANZ
