TURF
SOFT
Highly consistent mare Avoid Lightning settled well outside the leader (Fine Mist). She challenged strongly at the 250m, was headed passing the 200m but lifted gamely to score by a halflength, her 11th win from 26 starts to date. Griante settled in third place on the rails from her inside barrier (1). She got an inside run and briefly looked the winner when she took the lead at the 200m and then fought on for second. Fine Bubbles was near last on the rails, got a split on passing the 200m and ran on late for third. Fine Mist led to the home turn before finishing (2.2 lengths) fourth. Peron was last to the 600m and ran on nicely in the closing stages for (2.4 lengths) fifth.
