A tremendous staying performance saw Nedwin clear out from his rivals in the Open Handicap 2200m event, winning by 13L on the line. Allowed to bowl along in front by Kate Hercock, Nedwin put his rivals to the sword, heading to the outside rail and running strongly through the line. Despite being a highly regarded hurdler nowadays, Nedwin has won his two flat runs to kick off his campaign, which bodes well for him heading into this season’s feature hurdle targets.
