Dwayne Dunn enjoyed an unchallenged lead aboard Overshare ($9) who defeated Bandipur ($3 fav) by one length with Sunquest ($41) a neck away in third.

This is what the jockeys thought of the performance of their ride in Mitchell McKenzie Stakes.

Race 6 – Listed Mitchell McKenzie Stakes (1200m)

Place	Horse	Jockey	Comments
1st	OVERSHARE	Dwayne Dunn	He got his way today and then was able to kick off the front - it was a good effort and job done.
2nd	BANDIPUR	Craig Williams	He ran really well. It was another step up in grade for him today and he acquitted himself well, the winner was just too big and strong.
3rd	SUNQUEST	Regan Bayliss	Looking forward to getting him over a mile - he'll win a big race one day.
4th	AZAZEL	Luke Currie	He's still a colt and he wasn't too happy cluttered up with them and wanted to get his head up a bit. He hit the line well enough and happy with the effort under the circumstances.
5th	AL PASSEM	Ben Thompson	He went super off just the one trial before today. He'll be better stepping up in trip.
6th	FRANKEL MY DEAR	Brandon Stockdale	He's a nice horse in the making and is going to be better over further. He was against some smart sprinters today and he'll improve.
7th	TYCOON DANCER	Luke Nolen	He ran ok for this grade. A set of winkers might help him going forward.
8th	LONE EAGLE	Ben Melham	He ran well. He got a bad check down the side and that put him out of business - he did a good job to finish where he did.
9th	MURAAQEB	Michael Walker	I'm not sure - at face value he was disappointing.
10th	CAO CAO	Mark Zahra	I think he needs gelding.
Last	SIRCCONI	Linda Meech	He resented having to go back from the wide gate but he's well and I don't think there's anything wrong with him.
