| X X X X Gold Canberra Guineas LR 3 OPEN ($126,500), 1400m 1:22.94 | |
| Race Synopsis: Italy put up a good effort to score, albeit narrowly. She did not show much early pace and settled towards the rear of the 14-horse field, following a solid tempo (first 800m 46.94). She improved wide with cover from the 800m, switched deep on straightening and then put in a good run to challenge strongly at the 100m. She then fought well to score a good win in a photo finish. Just For Tilda, a winner of his first three starts at country tracks, raced in sixth place, moved up wide from the 600m, hit the front at the 100m and then battled gamely for a close second in a smart effort, stepping up in class here. Bolero King had a nice trip in seventh place on the rails from his good barrier (2) but was held up behind runners on turning for home. He switched to the rails at the 100m and fought on really well for a good third. | |
