Australian Turf Club (Rs1mw)
The Victorian-trained stayer Mendivil led the field at a moderate tempo and was under pressure when challenged at the 400m. But he kept responding well in the straight and fought back to score a narrow but gutsy win. Tenby Lady raced outside the leader and eventual winner most of the way. She challenged strongly approaching the home turn and battled on gamely, failing by only a long head at the post for second. *ANZ
