Very small Listed 1200m Open Handicap field that had an 8kg gap from the topweight down to the bottom. Chambord was tardy and last away before settling fifth the inside and then worked off and through fourth turning for home. The 7yo gelding carrying a luxurious 53.5kg was second and coming at the 200m and 100m before hitting the front with 50m to go then scoring by just under half a length in 1:10.38. It was his first win in a year and fourth win from twenty-one starts and it should be noted all his successes have come at 1200m. Start Wondering under 61kg ran a game second fresh up after sitting second the outer and leading the run home until headed at the 50m. Shadow Fox the leader fought on well once headed the run home for third then there was a gap to the fresh up Dolcetto that found the footing a tad firm. Morse Code usually races on the pace but today was in the rear duo on settling and never fired while Mighty Solomon disappointed from fourth the outer and showed nothing the run in. Very weak field and the winning time was incredibly over a second slower than the race prior, a Ratings 75 (three or more classes inferior), so was six lengths inferior. Chambord was thrown in as resuming he had finished a very close up fourth at Listed level carrying 57.5kg and today dropped 4kg staggeringly.
