Given a sweet passage from gate six trailing the leader Apex which flew away from outside the front line, Sam Nien was eased away from the markers prior to the home turn to follow Ijustcalledtosay (gate four second line) which had gone forward midrace to park outside Apex.

Getting clear in plenty of time on turning, Sam Nien raced away to record a 2.2 metre margin over Keayang Tweetybird (five back in the running line from the extreme draw – five wide on the final bend), with Ijustcalledtosay battling on gamely for third 8.7 metres away third. The mile rate 200.2.

■ Rockbank owner/trainer Albert Cefai’s 9Y0 Fling It-Rainbow Reflection gelding Fling It Rainbow at start number 183 notched up his 17th success by taking the 1690 metre Maryborough Veterinary Practice Trotters Mobile in a mile rate of 2-01.5. Driven by regular reinsman Michael Bellman, Fling It Rainbow starting solo on the second line settled three back in the moving line as Louieville Lass led from gate four.

Going forward three wide in the last lap, Fling It Rainbow outstayed his rivals to greet the judge 2.9 metres in advance of Touchango (gate five - four wide last lap from the rear). Louieville Lass held third 2.2 metres back.

■ Local area (Bowenvale) part-owner/ trainer Gerard Jamieson combined with Ballarat based Ryan Duffy to lead throughout aboard 5Y0 Lincoln Royal-Jilliby Nippa gelding Sir Nippa in the 1690 metre Benstud Standardbreds Pace.

Running along at his leisure from gate four, Sir Nippa couldn’t be caught, scoring untouched by 5 metres from Fair Chance (one/four) from a long way back in a 1-56.9 mile rate. Fake Collection (gate six – three pegs was third 5.4 metres away.

■ Navarre part-owner/trainer Toby Ainsworth landed the Aldebaran Park Trotters Mobile over 1690 metres with7Y0 Great Success-Whata Tussle mare Beautiful Sunrise. Driven by Ada Massa, Beautiful Sunrise from the pole settled four back along the markers as Mattyo (gate three) began very fast to lead.

Easing away from the markers in the last lap to be three wide with a trail on the back of Its Diamond Creek (gate six – three pegs – three wide home turn) as Mattyo galloped under pressure, Beautiful Sunrise dashed clear but was nabbed on the wire by Beautiful Sunrise, with Boutika (gate three –one/three after being checked slightly approaching the home turn) third 13.5 metres away. The mile rate 1-58.3.
