Peniaphobia was away well from the outside barrier and was taken straight to the front to cross and lead clearly on the fence. He settled well in the lead, gaining a mid-race breather before kicking strongly at the 300 metres, putting two lengths on his rivals. He fought off the late challenge of Lucky Bubbles to score a most deserved victory. Lucky Bubbles enjoyed a nice run in the race in fourth position one out one back. He turned for home three wide and quickened up well to get within a length of Lucky Bubbles but he could not catch the winner, staying on gamely the whole way to the line for a sound second. Not Listenin’tome ran his usual honest race. He tracked the leader in third pace and battled on strongly in the straight for a sound third. Aerovelocity was a major disappointment in the race. He raced on the outside of the leader in the run but was the first horse beaten in the home straight tailing out for last. A post race veterinary examination failed to reveal any abnormalities.
