Talented three-year-old sprinter Nature Strip remains unbeaten in three runs for the Darren Weir stable and has now won seven times in ten starts overall following this impressive performance. He was a bit slow to move but soon settled outside the leader (Sunlight). He put pressure on that runner nearing the home turn, soon got the upper hand and went to the front shortly after straightening before racing away to win by six lengths, and in quick time. He is a quality sprinter. This year's Magic Millions 2YO Classic (RL, 1200m) winner Sunlight was quickly away and went immediately to the front. She was challenged by her main rival (Nature Strip) nearing the home turn but was soon overpowered and then battled on to hold second, beaten six lengths, in a sound first-up run. The $81 chance Fancy Rumble raced in second-last place in the sevenhorse field before improving (deep) coming to the home turn. She then kept running on nicely to take the minor placing.
