QUEENSLAND Guineas winner True Glo was favourite in the 20 horse field for the Doomben Cup with Shogun Lodge very solidly supported on course.

True Glo went wide to go to the front on the turn out of the straight but Freemason in his customary role took off about 1200m out to take up the running with Bush Padre behind the leading bunch which also included Spirit of Westbury and Forest Jim. Freemason shot well clear as he turned the corner and looked home but Bush Padre sprinted quickly in the last 200m to score with authority for his talented apprentice rider, Michael Rodd. Maguire put in an eye catcher to run third with Bedouin close up fourth followed by Grey Song who came from last in the big field. Shogun Lodge should have been suited by the weight-for-age conditions but only plodded into seventh place.

Bush Padre has always shown ability and has been a favourite of trainer Lee Freedman, who credits his new training establishment for the improvement he has shown this autumn. In April and May Bush Padre has won three Group races in succession culminating in the Doomben Cup. Last year's winner Mr Bureaucrat went amiss during the race and is unlikely to race again.
