LAKE Victoria moved a little to her left when the stalls opened, but she was quickly into her racing rhythm and her rider took her back, got her settled nicely in behind horses.

Only five runners in the Group 1 Moyglare Stud Stakes, but there was a good pace on, and Wayne Lordan was happy to bide his time. The furlong markers went past, six, five, four, and still he and Lake Victoria sat in, fifth of the five runners, along the inside rail and under cover.
