| Australian Guineas G1 3 OPEN ($1,005,000), 1600m 1:35.79 | |
| Race Synopsis: Star Tasmanian-trained filly Mystic Journey is now the winner of nine of 12 starts and she scored a career-highlight in taking out this Group 1 feature. She had a good trip from her inside barrier (1) in fifth place on the rails. Anthony Darmanin drove her through a split at the 300m to take the lead shortly afterwards and she then drew clear to win impressively. Hawkshot moved up wide early on from his outside barrier (16) to cross to the lead at the 1200m. He then travelled well and fought back gamely when challenged in the straight to hold second in a smart effort. Amphitrite enjoyed a good trip in fourth place, one out and one back. She looked dangerous when she loomed at the 300m but she just kept fighting on from that point to finish third in a sound effort. Ringerdingding settled back in 11th place, fanned deeper and into clear running on turning for home and then ran on very well for (2.8 lengths) fourth, with Dealmaker battling on nicely for (2.9 lengths) fifth. | |
