Well supported second favourite Sake<\/B> raced to a most impressive victory in this week\u2019s New South Wales<\/st1:State><\/st1:place> feature, the G3-Filly Turf Bonanza<\/I>. Although not at the top of the betting charts, she was very well supported in the ring, and punters in general had a pleasing result, with the first three in the market filling the final placings. Top pick Sweet Sacrifice<\/B> set a scorching pace in an attempt to race the opposition off their feet, while Financial Impact<\/B>, eventual runner up, ran a very strong and even race<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Sweet Sacrifice<\/B> won the jump so clearly it appeared as if her gate had opened early. She created an immediate gap, crossing to the fence with ease. Financial Impact<\/B> settled on the rail behind her and Sake, after jumping alongside Financial Impact<\/B>, soon dropped back to make an Indian file of the first three, while Look at the Stars<\/B> and Sky\u2019s Gray<\/B> perched outside Sake<\/B>. Yes Another Bonnie<\/B> and Lay Gloom<\/B> made up the fourth tier, Tiger and Dell<\/B> dropped back, ahead of Bodgit Bandit<\/B> and Deep Quest<\/B>, who\u2019d both given the leader over a dozen lengths within the first couple of furlongs<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Jockey K. Williams<\/I> made his intentions very clear from the outset. He set about widening the margin with Sweet Sacrifice<\/B>, and planned on opening up an unassailable lead. And as they approached the half way mark it looked like it may have been a winning move. The margin extended out to seven lengths before the jockey gave the speedy filly a breather. More than half the field had been demoralized. The whips started cracking but, of the backmarkers, only Lay Gloom<\/B> was making inroads. Financial Impact<\/B> and Sake<\/B> had raced second and third, and they were making a little ground, but Sweet Sacrifice<\/B> still looked sweet.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

It was at the top of the final turn that the leader started to show signs of distress. Financial Impact <\/B>and Sake were closing the gap, with Sake<\/B> looking the stronger. At the top of the straight the two challengers let loose. Financial Impact<\/B> had had the job of carrying the field up to the tearaway leader, but only Sake<\/B> had been capable of going with her, and she kept her run going when the effort finally told on Financial Impact<\/B>.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Down to the line and it was Sake<\/B> by a most emphatic margin just short of four lengths. Financial Impact<\/B> was gallant in defeat, while Sweet Sacrifice<\/B> had enough heart to hold onto third, beaten six and a half lengths<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Lay Gloom <\/B>was still working home at the end, another length or so back in fourth.<\/P>

In almost another race, Bodgit Bandit <\/B>outstayed some tired animals to take home the final cheque. <\/P>

Yes another Bonnie <\/B>and Sky\u2019s Gray<\/B> held nice positions early before weakening<\/P>

Deep Quest <\/B>and Tiger and Dell<\/B> never got into the event.<\/P>

Look at the Stars<\/B> folded badly and was being inspected by the course vet as this item was going to print.<\/P>
