This Listed Open Handicap over 1200m was held on a worsening by the race Slow track and the The Precious One would win this easily on the minimum of 53kg. The winners and where they turned for home in race order were led (one-off the inside and three lengths in front), led (one-off the inside and length and a half from the leader), third (three-off the inside and a length from the leader), tenth (seven-off the inside and five lengths from the leader), eighth (six-off the inside and three lengths from the leader), third (four-off the inside and length and a half from the leader), third (four-off the inside and length and a half from the leader) and seventh (five-off the inside and two and a half lengths from the leader). The Precious One raced fifth surrounded then came through near the home turn and up third and four-off turning for home. The 5yo mare was ridden by an apprentice rider in a non-claiming Blacktype race but it made no difference as she led at the 150m and powered away relishing the conditions. Her winning margin of a length and a half flattered the rest and she clocked 1:13.34 to record her first win since October of 2018. It was her fifth win in sixteen starts and first Blacktype win plus it is worth noting all of her successes have come at 1200m. She won her first three ever starts in a row and won a fourth race at her sixth start, so has always had scope. Raise You Ten came with a very strong surge for second also carrying the minimum of 53kg, after racing seventh and wide mostly. Sensei the clear favourite also powered home wide out carrying 59kg and got third near the line after settling down second last. Rocanto after sitting second then taking on the leader and getting the front before the home turn was headed at the 150m and swamped the closing stages. Always On Call fought on well after racing fourth or fifth while there was a gap then to a plugging on the inside Shaara that settled down last. The rest got beaten over seven lengths and as much as over fourteen lengths with Enzo's Lad a shocker in last place considering he has won twice at G1 but clearly he just despises wet ground. The field was of a Listed level overall but the worsening footing wreaked havoc with the chances of many so the final result was somewhat misleading albeit The Precious One is a decent sprinter.
