| Rosehill Guineas G1 3 OPEN ($607,000), 2000m 2:07.28 | |
| Race Synopsis: The Autumn Sun continued his unbeaten run in three starts this preparation in stepping up to 2000m for the first time in taking out this Group 1 feature, his fifth win at the elite level from nine starts to date. He settled in sixth place, improved (deep) nearing the 600m, went to third (under riding) at the home turn, got to a narrow lead at the 300m but had to then dig deep, fighting gamely to score by a head. New Zealand colt Arrogant raced in second place, overtook the leader (Crown Prosecutor) and went to the front at the home turn and then fought back strongly for a very good (head) second at his Australian debut. His Mike Moroney-trained stablemate Chapada raced in sixth place (on the rails) was shuffled back nearing the home turn, got a split at the 200m and then kept making good ground for third in a promising effort at his third run this preparation. New Zealand-trained Surely Sacred raced back in ninth place, went deep rounding the home turn and then finished on quite well for (5.5 lengths) fourth at his first start in Australia. | |
