RACE REPORT
Although the field reached the start in plenty of time, Lisirril caused a delay, but once the signal was given Fair Rebel took the lead from Startling and Goody Two Shoes. On settling into their stride the favourite, Goody Two Shoes, came to the fore ahead of Marievale and Startling, with Fair Rebel already sending out distress signals. At the junction of the courses Goody Two Shoes veered right across to the stand side losing considerable ground and allowing Marievale a smooth passage on the rails. The favourite did not recover, and Marievale won by 3 lengths, with 3 lengths back to Startling in third. |
