Sungold Milk Warrnambool Cup (LR)

WT: 54kg Type: OPEN

The Darren Weir-trained, Irish-bred stayer High Church won most impressively, his sixth win and his first at stakes level, in 26 starts to date. He settled well back in second last place in the 12-horse field, before moving up wide on passing the 700m. He went towards the outside rails on straightening, soon took the lead and then raced away to win effortlessly. The top weight (60kg) Observational settled in last place before tracking the eventual winner from the 600m. He also went deep and the home turn and made ground near the outside rails for second. Unfurl raced in seventh place before improving (deep) at the 600m to challenge at the home turn. She then kept fighting on, also closer to the outside rails, to take a sound third.
