Lindsay Park-trained sprinter Faatinah returned after racing well in three starts in Dubai to score a smart first-up win here. He was quickly away and raced in the middle of a trio of leaders, going at a quick tempo, in the early stages. He eased in to be second at the 700m, moved up nearing the home turn, got to the front at the 100m and then fought back to score a very good win. The outsider Sunday Escape showed great early pace to contest the lead before going to a clear lead nearing the 600m. He then fought back very well for second, staging a really good effort here. Mr Sneaky settled back in ninth place, got between runners at the home turn and then ran on well for third in a good first-up effort. Quilista raced in back in seventh place, improved between runners to be a distant fourth on turning for home and then ran on well for (1.2 lengths) fourth in a nice first-up run. Hey Doc had a good trip in fourth place on the rails from barrier four. He was under riding back in third spot at the home turn and then held on under his top weight (60kg) for (2.45 lengths) fifth effort in a sound effort resuming here over this short trip.
