Nice horse! Excellent debut with the immediate filter to say he's a serious player in 2yo features going forward given not only a top 10 performance, but in this case the 3rd best of a Saturday city card. Stalked the lead going -1.2 at the 800, before +2.9 in the mid race, and -0.1 last 400. Lost 0.4 of a length last 200 in isolation, and the best last 800 of the day, but just the 31st best last 200 strongly suggests there's more to come. We look forward to tracking his progress.

Subsequently: 2nd Blue Diamond Prelude 07/02, then 3rd Blue Diamond 21/02 before winner Golden Slipper.

"Job done" emulating his sire THE AUTUMN SUN winning the Caulfield Guineas, improving a length from his +0.7 first up run that had him in Sizzlers 13/09 Rosehill when 0.6 lengths 2nd to stablemate the race-fit SIXTIES. After an "everything went wrong" run in the Golden Eagle planted wide throughout in a high pressure race shape, here got the perfect run for Damian Lane drawn inside. +5.8 lengths above benchmark at the 800 was "flying" but 5 lengths from the leaders who were overdoing it. +1.4 in the mid race before -5.4 last 400. He lost 2.6 lengths last 200 and as such is still trending upwards.

REPOST AFTER ROSEHILL GUINEAS WIN 21/03

Disappointed the market as beaten equal favourite, but clearly wasn't fully wound up and with the race shape against him chasing the rock hard fit winner NINJA. -6.3 at the 800 had him 5.8 lengths from the lead, before +0.3 in the mid race and +4.6 last 400. Lost a length over the last 200 in isolation as the run told conditioning wise. Should be a significant improver from here winning the Caulfield Guineas with +1.7, but was 3rd rather than 2nd up then and perhaps is also on a Doncaster path?

Subsequently: 2nd Randwick Guineas 07/03 before winner Rosehill Guineas 21/03

Won a very slow Blue Diamond on this day last year (-2.2), but he's progressed this time in producing a new PB first up from -1.3 at his last run in the spring. Significantly he's done it with blinkers off and over 1200 strongly suggesting there's more to come. -2.0 at the 800, before +0.6 in the mid race and +1.9 last 400. Should be able to clear benchmark from here with fitness elevation as a very conservative target, so a similar 3yo stakes race looks an ideal progression. 

Subsequently: 3rd Group 1 William Reid at $81!

REPOST AFTER 2026 George Ryder win!

This was a serious debut win and the hype from it is real! A just turned 3yo filly to produce a 2nd best of the day performance is very rare, and particularly for a first starter. -1.8 at the 800 sitting 3.3 lengths from the lead. Actually lost 0.5 of a length in the mid race, before producing an excellent turn of foot going -0.6 last 400. The micro-splits were what really impressed. -1.7 from the 400 to 200, before +1.0 last 200. Raw time adjusted up 5.6 lengths allowing for the soft track early in the day. She's heading one way: upwards!

Subsequently: Winner Up and Coming Rosehill 31/08. Winner Tea Rose Randwick 21/09

First up after winning the Manifold and Wakeful here last spring over a mile and 2000 respectively, but has produced a new PB and a clear best first up run. -3.1 at the 800 had her 3 lengths from the lead, before +1.5 in the mid race and +1.7 last 400. In addition she hit a flat spot of 1.3 lengths between the 400 and 200. Would assume she'll step up in trip now "job done" winning this $1million restricted race, and build on her stakes winning profile.

Subsequently: Winner Caulfield 21/03

First up after 437 days away from a one run prep October 2024, but has produced a huge performance to win first up. -4.6 at the 800, before +0.2 in the mid race and +1.5 last 400. This included the 3rd best last 600 and 2nd best last 200 of the day. Won a Listed mile Morphettville March 2024 with -0.4 ranked 2nd best of Adelaide Cup Day having been placed Magic Millions day, and despite this being a new IVR PB has always shown glimpses of talent. Can he avoid flatness of such a big performance from a long layoff? Time will tell, but he's put down a good marker.

Subsequently: Unplaced Magic Millions Day Gold Coast 17/01 then winner Caulfield 21/03

Goes to the paddock with the same tag she's had on her in her previous two starts at Moonee Valley (-3.3) and Caulfield (-0.2); Very promising! Improved again to another PB and her last 400 and 200 were genuinely electric, as the 2nd best and best splits of the day. -7.4 at the 800, before -0.8 in the mid race and +8.0 last 400 with the last 200 in isolation +5.1. Will they target the Group 1 Surround in the autumn over 1400 given her ability to relax early, or stay in pure sprints? Either way she's an exciting rising talent.

Subsequently: Spelled. First up 4th Oakleigh Plate then winner Caulfield 21/03

Outstanding mare just beaten by her freakish stablemate AUTUMN GLOW, and while the data says the narrow margin was slightly flattering, the reality is she's posted a new PB from her +2.3 when bolting in the Derby last autumn, and everything points to a new level from here. -13.3 at the 800 when stalking a very soft lead speed, before +0.9 in the mid race. That's a solid 14.2 length squeeze, and she then "let rip" with a blistering +8.9 last 400. Further context is seen via the 3rd best last 600 and the 2nd best last 400 and 200 of the day at the end of a mile. The Ranvet looks a logical next step.

Subsequently: Winner Ranvet 21/03 Rosehill 

Import who was 2nd up in his 2nd local prep, and improved his local best from -2.9 when winning over 2400 at Caulfield last October, and elevated from first up mile also at Caulfield when -3.4. As such he's got the win in BM88 company, but he's trending with more to come. -4.4 at the 800, and then +2.1 in the mid race. That 6.5 length move notionally saw him out with a benchmark close, but note a sharp 4.1 length flat spot slowdown from the 400 to 200, before a good 2.7 length rebound under full pressure last 200. How he performs on genuinely wet ground is an unknown.

Subsequently: Winner Rosehill 21/03

Slow maturing 5yo mare who got to a new level last prep with two performances in the +0.4 to +0.7 range, and here on a deteriorating track has returned with a Top 7 of the day win at a strong standalone meeting, breaking through at black type level. -4.0 at the 800 stalking the lead, before -2.4 mid race and +4.6 last 400. Whatever impact the rain had by now, she was still able to produce the 3rd best last 800 and best last 400 and 200 of the day under full pressure. Clearly turned up fit with just 70 days between runs and two trials leading in. 1100 in similar looks ideal from here.

Subsequently: Spelled. 1st up winner Rosehill 21/03

Was "blown off the park" by an outstanding winning performance from SHEZA ALIBI, but don't underestimate this run. Firstly he's equalled his PB when winning the Caulfield Guineas, and that was 3rd rather than 2nd up as he was here. Secondly what's very noticeable in the data is his early speed of +4.2 at the 800 was 10.5 lengths faster on a race to race basis, and as such should be a big "come on" factor to peak to a new level next start. Closed with +4.1 and -1.8 last 2 sections losing 0.6 of a length over the last 200 in isolation. Would presume a Rosehill Guineas/Doncaster path from here?

Subsequently: Winner Rosehill Guineas 21/03
