R6 ROSEHILL | 24 March 2018 |
Rosehill Guineas G1 3 OPEN ($607,000), 2000m 2:06.10 | |
Race Synopsis: Promising Chris Waller-trained colt D'Argento, who had indicated that he would be suited by stepping up in trip here, took his record to four wins from six starts in taking out this Group One race in impressive fashion. He settled nicely back in ninth place, behind a steady pace, improved (deep) nearing the 600m, went widest of all from the 300m, hit the front at the 100m and then drew clear to score by just over a length in a solid staying effort in the Soft 6 conditions. Chris Waller-trained stablemate Tangled raced in last place in the 18-horse field, saved ground closer to the rails as the field fanned deep rounding the home turn, continued along the inner and battled on well, being third past the post, but was promoted to second after a protest (4th against 2nd was upheld). Progressive three-year-old Furore, a winner of his first four starts in weaker classes looked unlucky. He was fourth early on before settling back in eighth place, between runners. He was taking a split at the 200m but was checked and then made late ground for fourth, subsequently being promoted to third (protesting successfully against the second horse past the post, (Vin De Dance). New Zealander Vin De Dance had a nice trip from his good barrier (2), racing in fifth place on the rails. He got through on the inner on straightening but veered out at the 200m (checking Furore) and then battled well to be second past the post before being relegated to fourth after a protest was upheld. Cliff's Edge led the field at a moderate tempo and held on for (2.9 lengths) fifth after seeming to have had every chance while Ace High was a handy third, moved up (deep) to challenge at the home turn and then kept battling on in the straight for (3 lengths) sixth and New Zealander Mission Hill made good late ground in restricted room for (3.1 lengths) seventh in a promising Australian debut. |
