Cullens Hope started a forward move but was checked behind Disco Dog
when that horse galloped then went very wide around that runner down the

the extreme outside of the field. Cullens Hope still had enough
power to hit the front soon after straightening and continued his run to
the line to defeat Waitpinga Fella with a gap to Mount Operative third. |
