Tab Werribee Cup (Bm78)

WT: 54kg Type: BM78

The favourite Cadillac Mountain began quite well from his inside barrier (1) but was then given time to settle by Chad Schofield and raced just beyond midfield before improving (wide out) from the 600m. He took quite a while to wind-up in the straight before running on strongly from the 150m and then finished too well to outstay his opposition for a narrow but strong win. Khutulun was sixth, one off the rails, moved up under riding nearing the home turn and hit the lead at the 100m. But he could not hold off the late closing winner to finish second. Phantom Brew worked in the early stages to find the lead. He was challenged at the 700m, went back to second before regaining the lead coming to the home turn. He then fought on gamely to narrowly hold third in a gutsy effort.
