Darley Scone Cup (LR)
Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott-trained mare and favourite Sedanzer, who was having her second run this preparation, scored nicely, her seventh win and her first at stakes level in 16 starts. She settled nicely in sixth place, behind a reasonable tempo (first 1000m 61.55) before tracking up well nearing the home turn. She raced to the front at the 100m and then fought back to score well. Duca Valentinois raced in eighth place, followed the eventual winner from the 600m, challenged at the 100m and battled well under his top weight for second after conceding 5.5kg to the winner. Kingsguard raced outside the leader (Lubiton) to the home turn and fought on to hold the minor placing. Second favourite New Tipperary raced in fifth place, between runners, but was held up for clear running in the straight and went to the post an untested fourth, beaten just under three lengths.
