TELL US TOLL $19.00 $3.50 2nd

The five-year-old mare began well and took up her customary role at the front, but early intent from two key rivals disrupted her control. She was crossed and settled in third—a tactical shift that altered the pace profile of the race. The tempo remained honest as the three principals engaged in a prolonged contest for control, creating sustained pressure across the middle stages. Upon straightening, it developed into a genuine test of stamina and class among the trio. Tell Us Toll responded well to regain second and launched a measured pursuit of the leader, but Spirited Defence maintained a strong rhythm and produced a decisive turn of foot. Although unable to reel in the winner, Tell Us Toll’s effort under pressure was commendable. Her tactical versatility and sustained closing effort reaffirm her standing as one to follow. Invest $200, collected $350 and yielded a profit of $150.
