The David Hayes-trained three-year-old Tips And Beers looks the have the makings of a promising young stayer and possibly a Victoria Derby (Gr 1, 2500m) prospect. He travelled well in seventh place, one off the rails, following a moderate tempo [first 1000m 63.56]. He switched wide on straightening and came with a good run to score by a length, his third win in a row in his fourth career start. Mantener La Fe raced outside the leader, went to the front at the 300m and battled on quite well for second while No Equivalent was sixth to the 600m, challenged at the 300m and fought on fairly well for third. *ANZ
