Richmond Club Mdn Plate
The Team Hawkes-trained Tarabai did well in winning here on debut, albeit narrowly. She settled in fourth place, just behind the leaders, moved up well at the 100m and battled gamely to score by a short half head. The Godolphin-raced filly Eschara, who was having her third start and her second run this preparation, raced in fifth place, tracking the eventual winner. She improved nicely on straightening and then fought out a good finish for a close second.
