This G3 mile at WFA was won by Belle Fascino by half a neck in 1:37.13 and it saw a tight finish where the first four home were covered by less than half a length. The winners and where they came from turning for home were eighth (seven-off the inside and three lengths from the leader), led (on the fence and length and a half in front), second (one-off the fence and half a length from the leader), seventh (six-off the inside and two and a half lengths from the leader), second (one-off the inside and a neck from the leader), fifth (four-off the inside and four lengths from the leader), fifth (two-off the inside and four lengths from the leader), fifth (one-off the inside and three lengths from the leader) and third (six-off the inside and four lengths from the leader). Belle Fascino settled down fifth the inner and came one-off turning for home before spearing between runners to lead at the 25m in a perfectly timed surge. The 7yo mare was held up turning for home and early the run in but once through she showed her worth when asked to lift. Today was her eighth win from forty-eight starts and her first Blacktype win. It was her seventh start at Blacktype and she also has four placings as well with a third in this very race last year and three Listed placings too. She has won on all types of footing and from 1200m to a mile. Second home was Ray's In Command that was shooting for a hattrick of wins on the day and he almost delivered in his first Blacktype outing. The 5yo gelding has come good this season with three wins and is now a mature enough to handle regular racing. Today he raced eighth the outer then moved up sixth wide across the top before unleashing the run home and narrowly missed the hattrick. Goodanya ran on well from ninth or tenth for third and he is just a two-win galloper so was badly off here and under WFA. He is in form having prior run a Listed third beaten less than a length. Fourth home was He's Got Power that trailed on the inner and was held up early the run home before fighting hard to the line and was beaten half a neck and two half heads. Fifth home and beaten over a length was Kilowatt that led and was swamped the final 25m. Sixth home was Bronte Beach that got well back the inner and the came wide on the home turn and ran on well late to be beaten less than a length and a half. Killarney was next home beaten just under four lengths after racing second the outer and then weakened the final 100m. Gallant Boy, the favourite, raced fourth the outer then got crowded and checked at the 25om before weakening. He is a 10yo and putting to shame the fields he has been beating of late. The last three home today were beaten just under five lengths and up to five and a half lengths and while the trio was never likely they did not get beaten out of sight. This was a driving finish in a race that was run not as fast as the last event, a Benchmark 65 (or and five to six grades inferior) that was run and won in 1:36.50 or four lengths faster.
