It's Somewhat wins 2016 Apn Outdoor Craven Plate Group 3 $150,000 at Randwick (NSW) 3yo+, 2000m.

Just four runners and ultimately easy money for the Godolphin establishment here, when James McDonald got It's Somewhat away quickly from the inside draw to lead early. They drifted to second down the back but McDonald, kept the leader honest and was only a little more than a length back at the 1400m. By the 800m, the complexion of the race changed quickly when McDonald forced the issue and moved off the rail and up alongside the leader. Into the straight, It's Somewhat forged clear and was going smoothly with MacDonald remaining still. Soon after, the race was over as It's Somewhat surged clear and was eased down at the line to win easily.

Spiritjim tracked the winner past the 800m, tried to go with him into the straight and ran on with no chance of winning.

Pinstripe Lane Lane was last of the four tuning in and ran on without chance the length of the straight, while Slow Pace was the last to cross the line.
