Moonee Valley - W. S. Cox Plate Day

Governance:
This 3YO colt, ridden by Kerrin McEvoy, started at $21.00. Between the 400 and the 200 Governance was badly held up for a run. Then approaching the home turn Governance had to be eased by McEvoy as it couldn't get a run between Yes Sir Yes Sir and La Bella Encosta. Despite this bad luck in running Governance finished a close second, beaten only half a length by the very short priced $1.65 favourite, Avenue. The racing gods certainly smiled on the punters who took the $1.65 on Avenue.

Ortensia:
Trained by Tony Noonan, this 4YO mare didn't have much luck when it finished a close fourth, beaten only a length by Apache Cat. Passing the 400 Ortensia was held up and then again in the short Moonee Valley straight Ortensia had difficulty in getting a run. With normal luck in running Ortensia might well have won.

Light Fantastic:
Don't dismiss the run of the smart 5YO gelding, Light Fantastic, in the same race. Light Fantastic was only beaten two lengths by Apache Cat after being given a very wide run by jockey Craig Newitt who just couldn't get a position.
