The Darley-raced first starter Kumaon did a very good job to win on debut and looks a most promising colt. He was a little slow to move, and raced in sixth place three deep without cover. He was giving the leader about five lengths coming to the turn (still wide), put in a good run passing the 200m, went to second at the 100m and finished gamely to grab a narrow but impressive win. Cyclone was well away from his inside barrier (1) and eased to settle fifth on the rails. He was under riding rounding the home turn, responded nearing the 300m but was badly checked when about to take a split between runners. He recovered to be third across the line but was promoted to second on protest. francesco showed good pace before settling in third spot. He put in a good run at the 300m but veered in under pressure causing trouble before taking the lead at the 100m and was caught in the last few strides. He was second past the post but was relegated to third on protest. *ANZ
