Darren Weir-trained colt Approved Anger, after showing potential in two earlier starts, broke through for his first win in really good style, stepping up to 1600m here. He began quite well from barrier ten and racing wide, moved up to settled outside the leader at the 1000m. He moved up well to take the lead at the 200m and then drew away to win comfortably. It was a smart effort and he is a horse to watch. The Chris Waller-trained Irish-bred import Prescience, having his third Australian start, settled back in last place in the tenhorse field. He saved ground between runners rounding the home turn, switched out at the 400m, got to second at the 100m and battled nicely to hold that position in the sprint home.
