The winner of this Open 1200m at set weights and penalties was the 4yo mare Entriviere, the least experienced runner in the field by a long way. It made no difference as she reached sixth the outer after being a tad tardy and second last away then once angled wide turning for home surged and led at the 120m before powering clear. Her winning margin was two and a half lengths and the time she clocked was 1:11.25 to score her fifth win in six outings. The winners and where they turned for home were second (three-off the inside and half a length from the leader), seventh (four-off the inside and three and a half lengths from the leader), third (five-off the inside and half a length from the leader), led (one-off the inside and a length ahead), second (four-off the inside and three lengths from the leader), fourth (six-off the inside and half a length from the leader), fifth (eight-off the inside and two and a half lengths from the leader), second (eight-off the inside and three lengths from the leader), seventh (six-off the inside and two and a half lengths from the leader) and eleventh (ten-off the inside and four lengths from the leader). Entriviere has only suffered defeat once and that came by a nose, so she should be undefeated. Today was her second G3 win in a row and both have been Open Handicaps. She does seem to enjoy cut in the ground at least with all her win so far coming on Dead or Slow footing. Second home was the Australian bred Bavella fresh up that carried 1kg less than the winner and fought well after racing second the outer plus she was ridden by an apprentice. Bavella has it all ahead of her this year so the ease of the win by Entriviere speaks volumes for that mare's upside. Third home was Spring Heat, also an Australian bred, that raced fifth surrounded and came up wider to fourth turning for home and led at the 200m but she could not repel the top pair. She was third at the 120m and ended up being beaten three and a half lengths. Fourth home was Festivity, a stablemate of the winner, that raced third last the outer and was angled wider turning for home. This 4yo mare ran home hard and unleashed a big finish to get fourth on the line. She has a lot more wins in store and while more tractable left-handed at this moment she is still learning her craft to some extent. Fifth home was New York Jazz at $46 that trailed the leaders the inner and was a close fourth at the 200m and 100m before losing hat position on the line. Sixth home and just a short head and a nose from fourth was Justacanta that was slow out and a clear last early but ran on home huge the closing stages. The 7yo gelding was ridden by an apprentice rider and is a natural backrunner and when he gets races run to suit is always a trifecta chance. Twenty six times he has finished first, second or third in his 46 starts so far and he has also finished finished fourth or fifth a further eleven times. Seventh home was the Australian bred Summer Passage that raced in that position the inner before coming off near the home turn and reaching sixth at the 200m but he had every chance. Next home was Pretty To Sea that got hampered at the start and settled down ninth the outer but she improved a spot across the top and came wide turning for home. Ninth home and beaten just over six lengths was the leader Rock 'N' Affair that once headed and third at the 200m stopped badly the closing stages. The rest got beaten over eight lengths and as much as almost a dozen lengths. Mascarpone had a wide run third and then was fourth and wide across the top but can be forgiven after such a horror run. The winner Entriviere should be undefeated and wherever she goes next she will start odds on as G2 or G1 look well within her range this year.
