H C Nitschke Stakes (LR)
Peaceful State, second in the Australian Guineas (Gr 1, 1600m) two starts back, was much too good here to nab his maiden stakes win and third win in eight starts. He drifted back to be third last at the 1200m, second last at the 1000m and last just before entering the home straight. Jockey John Allen tried to find a way through but did not see space until the 200m, when his mount accelerated very quickly between runners, picking up the leaders inside the 50m. He was travelling so well and was going clear by a length at the post. Smooth Landing was also well back turning for home, slid through the middle and kept going strongly to lunge into second on the line. Platinum Angel raced clear inside the 300m but was caught late for third be Over Exposure who was second at the 100m but swamped in the last few strides
