Winning Edge Hawke's Bay Cup (G3)

WT: 53kg Type: OPEN

A solidly run G3 Hawke’s Bay Cup (2200m) saw a $37 winner in Classcoroc score more comfortably than the half length margin can ever show. The 6yo mare raced outside the pace then took over across the top and slipped the cutter putting two lengths on her opposition and having that buffer or more for most of the run home. It was a daring ride by Alysha Collet but the mare was fit and had been racing much better this year that it reads plus left-handed is her go. It was the fifth win from forty-one starts for Classcoroc and her most significant with trainer Graeme Hughes sure to doff his preparer/part owner hat to the ride by Collett. The winning time of 2:16.02 is a decent gallop and especially at this time of the year with the Dead4 track seeming to offer runners ping or bounce of the surface. A deadheat for second between Rose Of Virginia and Mako saw both run home strongly while the fourth finisher Blathwayt kept coming down the outer in a show of stamina. Storming The Tower ran another good race for fifth and has not had much luck this campaign. Langdon got home late from the back and Bajour showed he could measure up into Cup class next season in New Zealand. Intransigent ran on okay but is the hardest horse to follow form wise perhaps ever seen in New Zealand. Iffwedance was not too bad as asked a bit off while Ringo had a hard run but is not a true stayer. Forgive the run of Dubai Shuffle as he never got clear air the final 200m when behind a wall of rivals on the inside.
