Charlie Appleby-trained entire Jungle Cat staged a most impressive performance in carrying top weight (58 kg) to victory at his first start since winning the Al Quoz Sprint (Gr 1, 1200m) at Meydan in March. He settled in sixth place, one off the rails, tracking a solid pace before James Doyle moved him up coming to the home turn. He challenged at the 200m and then dug deep to score a narrow but very game win. The consistent Tony McEvoy-trained Dollar For Dollar stepped up in class and did very well. He showed very good early pace to cross from his wide barrier (13) to lead. He then travelled really well, got a break at the 200m and was only caught in the closing stages for second after running a bold race. Land Of Plenty settled in eighth place, moved up (wide) from the 600m, challenged strongly coming to the 100m and fought gamely for a close up third. Home Of The Brave settled in fourth place, one out a one back, improved on straightening, was in a challenging position on passing the 200m and kept fighting on under 57kg for a sound fourth, beaten just over a length. Osborne Bulls was back in 11th place, switched deeper coming to the 200m and kept running on well for (1.3 lengths) fifth.
