R7 CAULFIELD | 23 February 2013 |
Blue Diamond Stakes G1 2 OPEN ($1,015,000), 1200m 1:09.76 | |
Race Synopsis: A perfect ride from apprentice Lauren Stojakovic on
the little filly Miracles Of Life who began well from her inside
barrier and settled sixth on the rails. Stojakovic skilfully eased
out nearing the turn and Miracles Of Life straightened up in third
place, three wide, travelling well. The filly drew to the lead at the
200m and went to the post strongly to win by a length and half
in an impressive performance. The maiden Fast ‘N’ Rocking was
near last on the rails and got a lovely run through on turning
for home, getting through to fifth at the 200m, then fighting on
well for a very good second. The lightly raced filly Godiva Rock
had a good trip from barrier two being about eighth on the rails
to the 600m. She got a split at the turn, moving to fourth at
the 200m, then battling on well for third, putting up a promising
effort. Gregers worked up to race outside the leader (Metstasio)
after starting from barrier ten, only tiring after passing the 200m,
to finish a sound fourth. Shamus Award was about seventh in
the centre before fanning wide at the turn and battling on quite
nicely to finish fifth. Montsegur showed pace being a handy
fourth to the turn before finishing sixth beaten four and a quarter
lengths. Dissident started from the outside barrier (14) and was
trapped midfield and very wide before finishing on late for seventh
beaten just over five lengths, putting up a good effort. Metastasio
showed good pace to lead from a wide barrier (11) only tiring from
the 200m for eighth. While the second favourite Guelph raced
midfield and wide after starting from a difficult barrier (12), failing
to run on in the straight to finish ninth. |
