00:00 confident with him knowing that he's likely not to be in front where he does his best
00:04 work and Captain Hammerhead back for fourth. Let's join Dan Malecki for the Victoria Derby.
00:09 Over two and a half laps, one of the classics and they just about said it's the Kiwi, the
00:15 real Sherlock to run the favourite. He's been in great form, ready, green light, they're
00:21 racing, it was a good even front line, Captain Hammerhead began well. Out deeper on the track,
00:26 Louis Lwai is pushing forward, the speed's good but Captain Hammerhead leads, Louis Lwai
00:31 went roughly, he galloped, Louis Lwai's gone for a gallop, Rosanna Rebel kicking up, Captain
00:36 Hammerhead seemed to leave a gap there and trying to poke through was Oliver Dan but
00:40 there wasn't enough room and Captain Hammerhead's in front. Out wider the real Sherlock is now
00:45 going up, leaders back, Oliver Dan from Rosanna Rebel, three back the inside, Captain's knock
00:51 and then came Celebrity Royal as they worked their way into the straight the first time.
00:56 Captain Hammerhead, David Moran backing the temp off a little bit and the real Sherlock
00:59 goes up on the outside and the Kiwi, the favourite's going to work to the lead. The real Sherlock
01:05 takes it up now from Captain Hammerhead, three back the inside is Oliver Dan and without
01:10 cover Rosanna Rebel. Captain's knocked four back on the pegs from Celebrity Royal, then
01:14 Louis Lwai and then our Vincent Cango who's five back along the pegs. Some runs are coming
01:19 now, Celebrity Royal's going to make its move first but also Petrarca went to come three
01:24 deep then came final collect, the lost storm back at the rear of the field with Perfect
01:29 Class. Into the back straight they're about to complete one circuit and the real Sherlock
01:33 just striding along comfortably now, led by seven metres. Captain Hammerhead in second
01:38 position and whipping forward is Petrarca. He'll go up, park just for a short while and
01:44 end up with some cover thanks to Perfect Class who's off the track three wide, three back
01:49 the inside is Oliver Dan, then came Celebrity Royal, next the inside Captain's knocked and
01:54 then Rosanna Rebel, our Vincent Cango, Louis Lwai, final collect and the lost storm is
01:59 back last. Lead time 1.24.5, around the turn they go with 1.300 to travel and the leader
02:06 is the real Sherlock with Greg Sugars. In second position Captain Hammerhead's had a nice run
02:11 right behind the leader and then third on the outside is Perfect Class, then three back
02:16 along the pegs is Oliver Dan from Petrarca, next is Celebrity Royal who's outside Captain's
02:21 knocked and then Rosanna Rebel, our Vincent Cango. Third last is Louis Lwai, next is final
02:27 collect, last the outside is the lost storm. 29.9 the first quarter of the last mile, they're
02:33 into the final circuit of the woodland stud Victoria Derby and the real Sherlock is the
02:37 leader. On its outside second is Perfect Class, third is Captain Hammerhead, he'll be relying
02:42 on the garage sprint lane, fourth is Petrarca, fifth is Oliver Dan, sixth is Celebrity Royal
02:48 as they pass the 800 from Captain's knocked, Rosanna Rebel, our Vincent Cango, Louis Lwai,
02:53 the lost storm and final collect. Second quarter, 29.9 and the real Sherlock along the back,
02:59 600 to go, leads by a metre on Perfect Class, Captain Hammerhead third, Petrarca fourth
03:04 and Oliver Dan Celebrity Royal. As they make their way off the back straight it's the real
03:08 Sherlock narrowly in front of Perfect Class as they sprint up past the 400. Third quarter
03:14 in 27, Perfect Class put his nose in front of the real Sherlock, Captain Hammerhead coming
03:19 off the pegs, Petrarca's coming with his run now, Petrarca's out after Perfect Class then
03:24 Captain Hammerhead, the real Sherlock can't go on in the straight Perfect Class, tackle
03:29 by Petrarca the outside, it's Petrarca, Perfect Class fighting on, Perfect Class, Petrarca
03:35 the outside, there's not going to be much in it but Petrarca does best, Petrarca, Petrarca's
03:40 beating Perfect Class, third home Captain Hammerhead, then Oliver Dan, next home Celebrity
03:46 Royal, they were followed in by Captain's knock, further back then to the lost storm,
03:52 they were followed back towards the rear then to final collect, our Vincent Cango, Louis
03:58 Lwai, Rosanna Rebel and clearly something not right with the real Sherlock, he was under
04:03 pressure at the 400 and dropped right out, the final quarter 27-2, a mile rate of 1.559
04:10 for Elderberry Park, Petrarca made that mid-race move to get the cover and had a kick left,
04:16 his stable mate wanted to run him off the track in the home straight and it was a fantastic
04:22 duel between Petrarca and Perfect Class but Petrarca's got the upper hand late from Perfect
04:27 Class and Captain Hammerhead is third, number one, 10, 11 and one are in the frame, eight
04:33 is fourth, Oliver Dan, 10, 11, one and eight, Petrarca by Captain Treacherous out of Lovelist,
04:39 based by AD Investments, manager Deez Avidzanos, Emma Stewart the trainer, Cameron Hart the
04:45 driver, Petrarca one, he's group one in the Vic bread a couple of starts earlier and backs
04:51 it up with a derby win tonight, has won 11 of 14, defeating 11 Perfect Class who was
