The winner of this Listed event was the Australian bred Vamos A Bebe, which started a clear cut favourite and after racing third or fourth the inner came off and moved into second at the 300m The 4yo mare led at the 100m and won by half a length in 1:09.76 to record her third win from six outings, which was also her first attempt at Blacktype. The winners and where they came from on the home turn were seventh (four-off the inside and three lengths from the leader), seventh (seven-off the inside and eight lengths from the leader), seventh (three-off the inside and three lengths from the leader), fourth (six-off the inside and two lengths from the leaders), third (four-off the inside and a length from the leader), third (five-off the inside and half a length from the leader), eighth (eight-off the inside and three lengths from the leader), seventh (eight-off the inside and three lengths from the leader), eighth (eight-off the inside and three lengths from the leader) and ninth (seven-off the inside and three and a half lengths from the leader). Vamos A Bebe has in her six starts apart from three wins also run second three times and those three defeats have been by a short head twice and a long head once. Unfortunately today the made bled for the first time so has an automatic three-month stand down period. The runner up was another Australian bred in Vigor Winner, which raced fourth the inner early and then was sixth across the top and seventh turning for home. He hit the line well late to get second the final 10m. His record in three starts prior saw two placings at G3 and a fourth at G2, so he was in genuine form. Madam Hass ran third beaten just over a length and a quarter to gain her first piece of Blacktype and it was a game effort too. The 4yo mare raced sixth the outer then moved up wide across the top to fifth and then was third turning in and leading narrowly at the 200m before being headed at the 100m. The fourth finisher was Its Destinys Child that came from a clear second last on and setting and was sixth and widest turning for home. Her solid finish saw her fourth and beaten a length and a half all up. Over two lengths away came the fifth finisher in Familia that raced fourth wide early then got over across the top and she fought well the run home did the 4yo mare. Rocket Fuel was wide early then led and once headed turning for home fought on well as she was still third at the 200m and only got swamped the last 25m. The rest got beaten between four and a half lengths and five lengths and none were disgraced at all with Love Squirrels an improver. This was not a torrid run race as the Benchmark74 prior ran 1:09.25 (or three lengths faster) when won very easily by Entriviere. No runner today won from leading or even running second to the home turn with half card being pressure contests and the other half being sedate affairs.
