Mississippi Delta wins 2018 M M - Tattersall’s Cup Listed $100000 at Ascot (WA) 3yo+, 2100m.

Progressive Bob Peters-raced stayer Mississippi Delta took her record to seven wins from 12 starts in scoring her first stakes success here. She travelled well in sixth place (one off the rails) under William Pike.

She moved up nicely coming to the home turn, raced to the front at the 100m and went on to win comfortably. Blue Tracer raced in seventh place on the rails, switched out deeper rounding the home turn and finished on well to take second in the closing stages.

First Affair was back in second last place on the rails in the 11-horse field, got along the inner at the turn, went between runners at the 200m and battled on well for third.
