Aurie's Star Hcp (G3)
Broken had a good trip in fourth place, between runners, following a moderate early pace (first 600m 37.42). He switched around heels passing the 300m, challenged strongly at the 100m, and finished gamely wide out to score nicely by a long neck. Temple Of Boom was midfield in a bunched field to the 400m. He went back toward the rails side shortly afterwards and challenged gamely at the 100m. He then fought on for a close second in a sound first-up effort. Cavallo Nero was back about seventh in a packed field. He went to the inside part of the track passing the 300m, hit the lead at the 200m and fought on for a close third. The outsider Pelicano ($21) was last in the ten-horse field before putting in a run on the grandstand side passing the 400m. He then put in a strong late bid for a good first-up fourth. The favourite Riziz ($2.60) had a good run just behind the leader (Falcent), put in a short-lived challenge at the 300m and then just battled on for fifth, beaten two lengths. A post race veterinary examination of Riziz failed to reveal any abnormalities. Luckygray raced a bit keenly, following a moderate early pace, back about eighth. He switched out wide at the 300m and kept fighting on quite well in the sprint home to finish sixth, beaten just over two lengths. Ferlax was near last to the 300m and ran on nicely, late, for seventh. It was a nice first-up run. *ANZ
