Slickpix Stakes (LR)
Ibicenco was allowed to drop back from his inside barrier (1) and travelled well, following a solid pace, in a distant eighth place to the 600m. He was under pressure on turning for home but kept responding and plugged on gamely to win in a photo. Mr O’Ceirin was a distant sixth to the 600m. He switched wide passing the 300m, challenged at the 150m and kept fighting on gamely for a good first-up (short head) second. The favourite Pakal showed good pace from his wide barrier (14) and travelled well in third place. He put in a run passing the 300m and kept fighting on for a good third after working in the early stages of the race. Pelicano was a distant ninth to the 600m and kept plugging on well in the straight, making up good ground to finish fourth. The French import Kesampour was back in fifth place to the 600m, put in a run on straightening but tired from the 200m to finish seventh. *ANZ
