Classy filly Arabian Gold maintained her impeccable wet track record now being unbeaten in her five runs in Slow and Heavy going. She travelled well in fifth spot on the rails and improved well along the rails rounding the home turn. Damien Oliver kept getting inside runs to hit the lead on passing the 200m and she then drew clear to score quite comfortably by a length and a quarter. Pheidon had a good trip third on the rails, switched out to challenge at the home turn, took a narrow lead at the 200m and fought on well for a sound second. Malice raced outside the leader to the turn and then fought on quite well for third. Hooked had a good run, fourth one out and one back. He improved nearing the home turn and looked a threat on straightening. But he just battled from that point to finish 3.2 lengths fourth. Equator went to the front and set a reasonable pace to the home turn. He then held on fairly well to finish four lengths fifth. *ANZ
