Quality stayer Kelinni settled third last in the 12-horse field following a very moderate pace (first 1400m 1:31.75). He moved up nicely three wide with cover from the 700m before switching out on top of the rise. He took the lead at the 100m and drew away to win comfortably by just over a length, under the top weight of 60kg in a good trial for next Saturday’s Sydney Cup (Gr, 1, 3200m). Fibrillation raced outside the eader (Maules Creek), got to a narrow lead at the 200m and fought on well for second. The import Pirate Bay raced midfield and three wide with a trail before moving up (wide) at the turn. He then battled on quite well in straight to finish a sound third. Maules Creek led a very moderate tempo before grabbing a nice break at the 300m. He then tired for fourth after giving supporters a good sight. *ANZ
