RUN OF THE DAY

Guardini sat wide with not much cover in the JRA Plate and put the issue beyond doubt with a quick sprint half way down the straight. He looks a stayer on the rise and an ideal Brisbane Cup type.

FORGET THEY RAN

Artlee looked to be travelling really well when he got into a two horse war down the straight with Target In Sight. We will never know how close he should have finished.

THE BLACK BOOK

Pajaro resumed from a long spell in the last with scope to improve and caught the eye hitting the line well late. He can be placed to advantage by Team Snowden over the coming months.

RIDE OF THE DAY

Sam Clipperton judged the race beautifully on English to win the All Aged Stakes. He always had her in touch in a stalking position and timed his run to perfection.
