COMMENT

1st

Lord Fandango

Ben Allen

My bloke is an out and out stayer and he picked them up beautifully when I asked him to go.

2nd

Wall Of Fire

Mark Zahra

He ran enormous from a (Melbourne) Cup point of view, he will be a great ride for somebody who can make the weight.

3rd

Gallic Chieftain

Dean Kendall

Every chance, what stuffed me early was when Harlow Gold came off the fence and I ended up getting shuffled back. I thought I had the winner on the corner.

4th

Boom Time

Cory Parish

Great run from my horse.

5th

Annus Mirablis

Luke Currie

He was really good late, just warming up the last bit.

6th

Fanatic

Beau Mertens

We wanted to be a bit closer but the speed was too good. He got through and he hit the line well. I think 3000m or more now would be better.

7th

Harlow Gold

Chris Parnham

Ran a nice even race, she just pulled a bit in the middle stages.

8th

Kidmenever

Glyn Schofield

As quickly as I went forward was as quickly as I went back.

9th

Aloft

Ben Melham

He got his tongue over the bit.

10th

Foundry

Michael Dee

I didn't really have an excuse for him.
