We might take the long ways on the outside. Wider still is Elwatine. Desert Flash shifting off the rail under pressure now. On the outside, killing Queen Rivoir is running on well as Minihawk draws up alongside Will. Chased by We Might Take the Long Way and Desert Flower inside the two. Revoir is out wide and Minihawk just goes on into the lead from Will. These two battling it out. We Might Take the long way. And then Desert Flower who needs to find a lot more as they race inside the final furong. Mini Hawk on the near side of Will. Mini Hawk near side. Will far side. Mini Hawk a nose in front of Will. Will go down without a battle. But it’s Minihawk. Minihawk wins the oaks.
