She’s Insatiable wins 2014 Gold Cup Metropolitan Trophy NZ$50,000 at Riccarton Park (NZ), 2500m.
In threat of being posted wide leaving the straight with a lap to run, She's Insatiable was fortunate to slot in one off the rail in seventh. Racing in the clear when seventh from as far out as the 2000m, she continued to receive a saloon passage before ranging to challenge on straightening at the 400m and drawing clear with her nearest rival she gained an advantage at the 100m to surge away.
Second placed Deliciano also received a lovely trip, three back on the inner, and a perfect split two off the rail on straightening. She entered into a duel with the eventual winner at the 250m and put up a good fight.
The first two at the line were well clear of third placed Mungo Jerry who made up plenty of ground after circling wide from second last at the 600 metres.
