| Golden Rose G1 3 OPEN ($1,021,400), 1400m 1:22.41 | |
| Race Synopsis: The Black Opal Stakes (Gr3, 1200m) winner Trapeze Artist was a surprise $41 winner but it was an impressive performance, nevertheless. Having his third run this preparation and returning to racing in blinkers, he settled back in sixth place, one off the rails, tracking a strong tempo (first 800m 46.41) before improving well rounding the home turn. He raced to the front at the 200m and then drew away to score decisively by just over four lengths. The filly Champagne Cuddles settled in last place in the 14-horse field, improved (between runners) on turning for home, went to fifth at the 200m and kept running on well to take second, putting up a smart performance. The favourite Menari was quickly away from his wide barrier (11), settled back in fourth place, chasing a strong pace, looked dangerous at the 200m but kept battling on from that point for third, seemingly being tested by the 1400m trip and having worked on a strong early pace. Gold Standard was back in fifth place on the rails, went to third at the home turn and then kept battling on for (4.6 lengths) fourth. Assimilate was back in 12th place rounding the home turn and made good late ground for (5.6 lengths) fifth in a promising effort while Pariah (ninth) and Merchant Navy (tenth) ran below expectations, not threatening at any stage. | |
