8 RESuLTS
Margins: 1.5 lens, 0.1 lens. Time: 1:09.76 (last 600m 35.00).
Betting: $3.25, $26, $17.
Also ran: Gregers (AUS), Shamus Award (AUS), Montsegur (AUS),
Dissident (AUS), Metastasio (AUS), Guelph (AUS), Quest For
Peace (AUS), Kona Breeze (AUS), I Am Titanium (AUS), The Bowler
(AUS) & Crack A Roadie (AUS), last.
Analysis: A perfect ride from apprentice Lauren Stojakovic on
the little filly Miracles Of Life who began well from her inside
barrier and settled sixth on the rails. Stojakovic skilfully eased
out nearing the turn and Miracles Of Life straightened up in third
place, three wide, travelling well. The filly drew to lead at the
200m and went to the post strongly to win by a length and half
in an impressive performance. The maiden Fast ‘N’ Rocking was
near last on the rails and got a lovely run through on turning
for home, getting through to fifth at the 200m, then fighting on
well for a very good second. The lightly raced filly Godiva Rock
had a good trip from barrier two being about eighth on the rails
to the 600m. She got a split at the turn, moving to fourth at
the 200m, then battling on well for third, putting up a promising
effort. Gregers worked up to race outside the leader (Metstasio)
after starting from barrier ten, only tiring after passing the 200m,
to finish a sound fourth. Shamus Award was about seventh in
the centre before fanning wide at the turn and battling on quite
nicely to finish fifth. Montsegur showed pace being a handy
fourth to the turn before finishing sixth beaten four and a quarter
lengths. Dissident started from the outside barrier (14) and was
trapped midfield and very wide before finishing on late for seventh
beaten just over five lengths, putting up a good effort. Metastasio
showed good pace to lead from a wide barrier (11) only tiring from
the 200m for eighth. While the second favourite Guelph raced
midfield and wide after starting from a difficult barrier (12), failing
to run on in the straight to finish ninth.

Also ran: Ocean Park (NZ) & Final Touch (NZ), last.
Analysis: Despite an excusable form line at his last two starts,
Nashville confirmed the talent he has always shown to claim a
Group One win at his thirteenth start. 14-1 in betting, with the
inclusion of Cox Plate winner Ocean Park (Thorn Park) in the five
horse field, Nashville bided his time sitting two lengths off the
second last horse as Veyron set up a genuine gallop. He circled to
pounce on the leaders at the 150m and kept going boldly to win
with some authority. Veyron fought hard for second after leading
at a very good speed, a good effort.. Better than Ever, who raced
ton the outside of the leader also battled hard in the straight for
a good third. Ocean Park had every possible change in the run
racing in fourth one off with a trail. He was one of the first horses
to come under pressure in the straight and battled on at one pace
for fourth. Only an even first up effort. Final Touch raced behind
the leader, she had clear running on the rails and tired late on for
a disappointing last.
