Excellantes enjoyed a nice run third on the fence behind the leader. He was held up for a run and switched across heels at the 300m into the clear. He picked up the leader at the 100m and drove away to score with plenty in hand. Benny’s Buttons raced outside the leader in the run. He took the lead at the 250m and rolled back to the fence. He worked home solidly but found the winner a little too good. *ANZ
