A big big wrap from James McDonald about Chapada

Having seen that replay, thanks Hesi ...Extra Brut put up an astonishing performance. Last early, widest of all in a big field on the corner and produced a terrific turn of foot to get to the front ...almost too early. Strong and brave, alright, at the end of a truly run 2500m. No doubt they'll be eyeing up Sydney next autumn and maybe the Cup next year. I note he's by Domesday, sire of another very genuine stayer wh won yesterday, Five to Midnight.

Amazing how punters dropped him so quickly. Mind you, did go poorly start before on track that was soft, but not soft compared to nz bogs

Yep can't argue with that, last and wide on the turn and ate them.  Chapada would have been a lot closer with a clear run, I was happy with my 4.50 FF place
