Madonna Mia wins 2015 Civics @cambridge Wanganui Cup Listed NZ$50,000 at Wanganui (NZ), 2040m.
Madonna Mia settled forward of midfield early then moved up on the fence to be fourth as they started down the back straight. She lost a couple of places starting the last bend but then made very a sharp move around those in front and just short of the home straight took over the pace, putting pressure on the rest. Into the straight she bounded clear by three lengths and jockey Darryl Bradley simply kept her going to the post to win very comfortably.
Grey Guru was well back down the back and second last at the 500m then pulled wide into the home straight and finished well, out in the middle of the track, for a solid staying effort.
Favourite, Tyne Cot was last down the back and second last starting the corner. He ran around the field and was going well when the field straightened but the effort told and was passed in the last bit by Grey Guru.
