Chariots winner Better than his rivals

By John Dunne (HRV)

Greg Sugars left Melton on Saturday night at Tabcorp Park Melton, satisfied reigning Chariots of Fire champion Better Eclipse is on track for a successful Queensland winter carnival.
Having his first run since finishing third in the Miracle Mile in March, Better Eclipse ($4) ran past the $1.90 favorite Rock N Roll Doo in the home straight to score by a metre, with Spring In His Step a further metre away third.
After the race, Sugars acknowledged his task was made somewhat easier when he landed the one-out, one-back trail after the placegetters engaged in a spirited duel for the lead before Rock N Roll Doo assumed control at the 1609m mark.
“We had a lovely run in transit and obviously our main danger had to do plenty or work early so the race was well set up for us, but he looks like he’s come through that very well,” Sugars said.
“We will see how he pulls up to see whether he has another run next week or goes straight to Queensland.”
