Maybe Miami wins 2017 Cafe Cuba Flying Hcp Listed NZ$50,000 at Awapuni (NZ), 1400m.
Top weight Maybe Miami settled third, one off the rail, from barrier three then soon after jockey Samantha Collett pushed forward to sit on the leader's flanks to keep the pace honest. They moved a little closer near the last corner then cruised up to take over at the 300m. Collett waited until the 150m then applied the pressure and they came away to win clearly for win eight from 24 starts.
Ja Ja Binks was second last in the small field turning in, switched towards the fence upon straightening and ran on quite well but was well held by the winner.
El Pescado was fourth turning in, moved wider and ran on but too late for third while the widest runner, Duffers Creek grabbed fourth, also very late.
