  • Viewed dashed to the front now, Viewed raced away from them, from Moatize, here's Profound Beauty running home, Bauer coming down the outside and C'est La Guerre. Viewed is clear though, 200 meters to go, Bauer ran to second, C'est La Guerre coming home hard. Viewed in front, Bauer's a big danger, Viewed by a neck, Bauer's getting there, Viewed holding on, Bauer dives... Viewed a nose to Bauer, I think! (en)
