| All Aged Stakes G1 3U OPEN ($605,000), 1400m 1:20.33 | |
| Race Synopsis: Gerald Ryan-trained colt Trapeze Artist scored his third Group One success, but a hard-fought victory on this occasion. He settled in fourth place (one out and one back) but going a bit keenly in stages before moving up rounding the home turn. He challenged approaching the 200m and then battled gamely to score a good win, albeit by a head. Multiple Group One winner Le Romain raced outside the leader (Showtime), challenged at the 300m, got to the front at the 100m and fought really well for a close second in a very good second up performance. Team Hawkes-trained colt Showtime went to the front, set quite a good tempo and battled strongly when challenged in the straight to finish third in a really good effort. Hartnell raced in sixth place, one off the rails, improved (deep) nearing the home turn and kept running on well, without threatening, for (1.8 lengths) fourth, just missing third in a photo while The Mission was a handy fourth on the rails and held on for (2.2 lengths) fifth. | |
