Wordsmith Newmarket Hcp (LR)

WT: 54.0kg Type: OPEN

Consistent five-year-old gelding Tshahitsi took his record to eight wins in 15 starts in taking out his first stakes race here. He began smartly from his good barrier (3), settled nicely behind the leader until into the home straight. He angled into clear running on passing the 200m and finished a bit too well to score a good win. Gee Gee Red Prince showed good pace to lead. He was pressured nearing the home turn but was only headed in the closing stages for a good second. Admiral, a seven-time stakes winner in Tasmania, raced outside the leader (Gee Gee Red Prince) and kept fighting on well under his (59.5kg) top weight to hold third in a very honest effort at his first start since racing in the Melbourne and Adelaide. The favourite Lord Da Vinci settled in seventh place, improved (deep) from the 700m, moved up (wide out) at the home turn and then fought well for fourth after a difficult trip from his wide barrier (12).
