R9 CAULFIELD | 13 October 2018 |
Ladbrokes Caulfield Guineas G1 3 OPEN ($2,008,500), 1600m 1:35.58 | |
Race Synopsis: The Autumn Sun took out his third Group 1 victory in six starts with a highly impressive performance in winning here. He was smartly away but was then caught three wide outside the leading pair (Tavisan and Native Soldier) at a solid early tempo. He went to the front on turning for home and then raced away, despite his difficult trip, to score by four and half-lengths and is clearly a very high quality colt. Vassilator settled in eighth place, tracked wide with cover from the mid-stages, went to third on turning for home and then battled on well for a good second in a really promising effort. The filly Oohood raced back in last place in the 13-horse field, went deep at the home turn and then ran on really well for good third in a very good performance. |
