00:00 This is the anti-penultimate.
00:02 At the Lynn Gordon Paceway here at Leeton, they're just about set.
00:08 Ready.
00:11 The Green Tab Mobile's about to zoom away and there it goes.
00:16 And getting the best of it was Agent Kellen, he's looking for the lead,
00:19 but kicking up the grey, the clock winder.
00:21 They've already got about eight or nine metres,
00:23 then to the good of Polka Dot Dance, who moves into third.
00:26 Fourth spot is Rock 'n' Roll Nugget, out wider on the track now,
00:30 trying to get a spot was Sax Player, and then in between them was Security Jack.
00:34 It's racing in between runners as they go around the bend.
00:37 Over on the inside was Cam Nat, second last in the run,
00:40 drifting backwards at the moment, Harvey Hughes, and dropping out last of all,
00:44 in fact, now going back is Sax Player.
00:47 They run down the straight. The grey was able to hold the lead,
00:50 the clock winder, it's in front by four or five metres.
00:53 Second spot, Polka Dot Dance, and three back the inside is Agent Kellen,
00:57 leading up the outside, Brigade is Rock 'n' Roll Nugget.
01:00 Now four back the inside as they run out of the home straight was Cam Nat.
01:04 Around those runners next now, getting into the one-by-one spot
01:07 is Security Jack, the $61 pop.
01:11 It's being tracked up in turn by Harvey Hughes and Sax Player last of all.
01:15 38.6 was the lead time.
01:17 They steadied up now, though, as they race down the back towards the first quarter.
01:21 It's the clock winder out in front in second position,
01:24 and edging up ever so closely is Rock 'n' Roll Nugget.
01:28 Trailing the leader is Polka Dot Dance, one-one at the moment is Security Jack.
01:32 Three back the inside is Agent Kellen.
01:34 Around those runners next is Harvey Hughes.
01:37 It's being tracked up in turn by Sax Player, and over on the inside,
01:41 last of all, was Cam Nat.
01:43 33.9, they backed off noticeably.
01:45 They get to the top of the home straight, and in front, still the grey,
01:48 the clock winder. It's in front by about half a length.
01:51 Second on the outside is Rock 'n' Roll Nugget.
01:54 Trailing the leader is Polka Dot Dance, one-one at the moment, Security Jack.
01:58 It's being tracked up in turn by Harvey Hughes,
02:01 and along the inside was Agent Kellen.
02:03 It's in an awkward spot now. Three back the pegs.
02:06 On the outside, racing last at the moment, is Sax Player,
02:10 and it covers up Cam Nat to its inner.
02:12 31 seconds was the second quarter.
02:14 64.9 the half. Really no excuse here for your leader.
02:18 It's the clock winder in front by three metres.
02:21 Second on the outside is Rock 'n' Roll Nugget,
02:24 and third trailing the leader at the moment, Polka Dot Dance.
02:27 On the outside is Security Jack.
02:29 It's about to be pocketed because Harvey Hughes goes around it.
02:32 Over on the inside was Agent Kellen,
02:34 and the last pair are Sax Player, and on its inside is Cam Nat.
02:38 They run off the back. 30.5.
02:40 There should still be a bit of a kick here in the leader.
02:43 The clock winder's in front by three metres.
02:45 Out wide, Harvey Hughes running into it nicely.
02:47 Along the inside, Polka Dot Dance waiting for an opening,
02:50 and then behind those runners is Agent Kellen,
02:53 but the clock winder, given more rain,
02:55 he's starting to draw away from them halfway down the straight,
02:58 and Shane Hallcroft, beautifully driven, takes out race number six.
03:02 He gets home to defeat Polka Dot Dance.
03:04 In third spot across the line was Agent Kellen.
03:07 Forget it went around. It was bottled up the whole journey,
03:10 and then came further back then.
03:12 It would have been Cam Nat,
03:14 who's run on well from back in the field.
03:16 Then came Harvey Hughes. Sax Player was next.
03:19 Going across the line was Security Check,
03:22 and quickly into the barn is Rock 'n' Roll Nugget.
03:25 Number one gets it.
03:27 (LAUGHS)
