| Coolmore Classic G1 3UFM OPEN ($607,000), 1500m 1:27.53 | |
| Race Synopsis: Peeping was smartly away from barrier nine and Sam Clipperton got her across well to settle in fifth place one off the rails. She switched out on straightening, sprinted quickly to take the lead at the 50m and then fought back gamely for a really good win, her first at Group One level. Azkadellia was seventh, one off the rails, tracking the eventual winner. She fanned deep at the 300m, challenged at the 50m and fought well for a good second. Solicit went to the front as usual, set a solid tempo and then battled back strongly when challenged in the straight for a good third. Top weight (58kg) Lucia Valentina settled well back in tenth place, she improved (under riding) on straightening, switched deep at the 200m and then ran on strongly for a late-closing (1.6 lengths) fourth in an impressive firstup effort. Zanbagh was smartly away from her inside barrier (1), had a good trip in fifth place and fought on well in the straight, putting up a very honest performance in finishing (2.1 lengths) fifth. Previously unbeaten filly Ghisoni was quickly away, raced outside the leader (Solicit) at a solid tempo, and weakened after racing on the pace to the 200m to finish (2.4 lengths) sixth, in a most creditable effort in this Group One class. | |
