Scapolo wins 2015 Coca-Cola Canterbury Gold Cup Group 3 NZ$ 100,000 at Riccarton Park (NZ) , 2000m.
Race favourite Scapolo travelled boldly behind the leader throughout. He was clear to challenge two off the rail when rounding the home turn and after taking control at the 250m he proved too good. Having pressed forward off a wide gate to lead, Sureasyouwereborn was nicely rated and found a good kick when challenged at the 300m to hold second comfortably.
Drawing away from the pack with a late close for third, Miss Three Stars had tracked into the clear early in the straight after racing in midfield.
Fourth placed Eva Keeneva ran home strongly for fourth, and after being a clear last Spring Cheer staged a massive run wide out for fifth.
