| Kennedy Oaks G1 3F OPEN ($1,005,000), 2500m 2:40.54 | |
| Race Synopsis: Aristia, who broke through for her first win (after five placings) in nine starts in Saturday's Wakeful Stakes (Gr 2, 2000m) backed up that success with a strong win in this prestigious Group 1 race. Damian Lane gave her a good trip in fourth place, tracking a steady pace before improving rounding the home turn. She challenged at the 200m and finished too well to score a strong win, running the 2500m out well. Greysful Glamour was smartly away, Tim Clark then steadied the midrace pace before lifting the tempo coming to the home turn. She got a break on straightening and fought back well for a good second. Miner's Miss, winner at her sixth attempt of a maiden (1860m) at Avoca on October 20 at her latest outing, stepped up quickly in class and did very well in taking the minor placing after racing in third spot on the rails to the home turn. Maracaibo was wide early on before settling outside of the leader (Greysful Glamour). She then kept battling on well for (2.1 lengths) fourth after stepping up significantly in class here at her fifth start. Of the others: Qafila was handy all the way and held on quite well for (2.3 lengths) fifth, Verry Elleegant raced towards the tail of the field, going a bit keenly before finishing (6.1 lengths) seventh while her stablemate and favourite Amphitrite raced in eighth place (one off the rails), but was under pressure on straightening and was eased down over the latter stages to finish last. | |
