I'm Wesley staged a smart first-up performance in taking out his third successive Newmarket Handicap (Listed, 1200m) here. Having his first start since racing at Flemington in September, he settled in fourth place on the rails, tracking a solid tempo. He responded to riding nearing the home turn, challenged at the 200m, took the lead at the 100m and then fought back to win well, his 15th win in 44 starts. The favourite Twitchy Frank raced back in fifth place, one off the rails. She moved up (deep) rounding the home turn, challenged at the 200m and then kept fighting gamely for second. Hellova Street, who was resuming, settled in sixth place on the rails, was under pressure approaching the home turn, improved between runners on straightening and then ran on without threatening to take third.
