The recent San Domenico Stakes (Gr 3, 1100m) winner Va Pensiero proved that success was certainly no fluke with another stakes win here. He began quickly from barrier ten and showed good pace to take the lead after going 400m. He then steadied the tempo, grabbed a break at the 300m and fought back gamely for a narrow but good win. Dissident raced in sixth place between runners to the turn. He was blocked at the 300m but got clear when switched to the inside at the 200m. He then came with a strong run for a late-closing second. Marseille Roulette was smartly away and raced behind the leader and eventual winner most of the way. He battled on surprisingly well for a good firstup third. Zoustar was slowly away and settled just past midfield. He moved up wide out from the 600m, put in a run passing the 300m and kept fighting on well for a good first-up fourth. The lightly raced Cluster went back to last from his outside barrier (14). He went very wide rounding the home turn and continued to make good ground for a very good fifth. He looks to be a smart colt with quite a future. Windjammer was just past midfield on the rails to the turn. He finally got clear passing the 200m and then finished nicely for a good sixth. Well favoured runners Eurozone (eighth) was handily placed but raced wide and just battled on in the straight while Sidestep (last) was slowly away and struck trouble on a couple of occasions. *ANZ
