The Darren Weir-trained colt Shamport followed his debut third in a 2YO Handicap (1109m) at Echuca on 10 July with a really promising win, advancing in class here. He began well and was eased to settle nicely in fourth place before switching out rounding the home turn. He took the lead at the 100m and then dashed clear to score impressively. Confluence was fifth early on before moving up, when the pace slowed (due to the strong wind) to share the lead (racing three deep) at the 800m. He briefly got to the front at the 200m before holding on after a difficult trip for a good second, his third such placing in four starts to date. Mulk was midfield (wide with cover) before improving (deep) at the 700m. He put in a good run at the 200m and then fought on well for a good third. The favourite Nistaan was fifth on the rails to the home turn and kept battling on for (3.9 lengths) to finish fourth.
