R7 ROSEHILL | 18 March 2017 |
Longines Golden Slipper G1 2 OPEN ($3,539,500), 1200m 1:15.04 | |
Race Synopsis: She Will Reign scored an outstanding win here, her first at Group One level. She was midfield early on before improving along to inner to settle in fifth place on the rails. She continued through on the inside rounding the home turn, took the lead on passing the 300m and was untroubled from that point to win clearly. It was also a very good ride by Ben Melham. Frolic went back from her wide barrier (14) and settled in third last place in the 16-horse field. She stuck to the rails rounding the home turn, got through to fourth at the 200m and kept running on well for second, putting up a smart effort. Tulip raced back in tenth place (wide out), improved (deep) from the 600m, went to fifth (in the centre of the track) at the 200m and kept running on well, being fourth past the post but she was awarded third on protest after being hindered over the latter stages. Menari raced in fourth place, got to third at the 200m and then kept fighting on, being third past the post but was relegated to fourth after a protest for veering deeper in the latter stages. The favourite Houtzen was brilliantly away from her wide barrier (13) and soon crossed to the front. She then travelled well, held on nice advantage on straightening but was overtaken at the 300m and then held on for (5.7 lengths) fifth, her early efforts telling in the conditions over the final stages. |
