“I read the situation and kept out of trouble,” said jockey Jasmine Fawcett after riding Eptimum to win. Fawcett was faced with a loose horse (Ihu) in the field and she took Eptimum to the front after 300m. Ihu left the starting gates without rider Kavish Chowdhoory. It was the second successive win for Eptimum, trained by John Blackadder, who races the son of Snitzel with Henry Gillies and Phil Blacktopp.

Specialty is co-trained by Bruce Tapper, the owner with his wife, Karen through Clearview Park Ltd. They bred Speciality who was ridden by Brandon May.

Race 6: Dunedin City Motors, rating 65, $40,000, 2200m

Savvy Man vindicated the high opinion of him held by trainer Michael Pitman with his win. “ He is just a dead-set stayer and I would have hesitation in setting him for the New Zealand Cup,’’ said Pitman after the Savabeel gelding outstayed his rivals emphatically. Savvy Man settled tenth and sustained a big run wide out from the 350m to win by two and three-quarter lengths. It was a change of fortunes for jockey Kavish Chowdhoory, who parted company with Ihu at the start of race 4.
