Nisos raced in ninth place one off rails following a slow pace (first 1400m 1:30.17). He improved, very wide, from the 600m and put in a strong run to challenge at the 200m. He drew clear at the 100m and then fought back well for a narrow but good win. The consistent filly Ava’s Delight was back in eighth place on the rails, switched between runners nearing the home turn but was then held up for a run and did not get fully clear until the 100m point. She then finished gamely for second, beaten only a long head. Use The Lot led and set a slow tempo before being challenged by several runners approaching the home turn. He looked beaten on straightening but came again surprisingly well for a sound third. The promising Space ($4.20 fav) was seventh on the rails before improving between runners coming to the turn. He struggled to pick-up as the tempo increased on straightening and then plugged on fairly well late for fourth. *ANZ
