The lightly raced three-year-old Grand Slam Eagle travelled nicely, midfield, one off the rails. He improved (wide) from the 600m to join the leaders turning for home. He got to a narrow lead at the 200m and then fought back gamely to score well by half length. He is a promising young stayer. Tooleybuc Kid raced just beyond midfield but was trapped wide without cover after starting from a difficult barrier (13). He improved (five wide) at the home turn, challenged at the 400m and fought on very well for a good second. Vintage Lad was about seventh between runners and was held up for a run on straightening. He was finally able to ease across heels at the 200m and finished quite well for third, looking a little unlucky. Longeron ($3.90 fav) raced keenly in stages outside the leader (Joplin) to the 400m and battled on fairly well for fourth, beaten three lengths. *ANZ
