Shoals got the box seat third throughout and finished runner-up again after her second in the Thousand Guineas Prelude, while the Flight Stakes winner Alizee finished third as the beaten favourite in the Thousand Guineas trifecta.
Dibayani , a stablemate to the winner, got up for third. The five-year-old outstayed his rivals, taking advantage of the tiring front runners who dropped right out of the mix as the backmarkers ran on late. She was settled just off the pace after two luckless runs this time in, her latest an improved third at Morphettville in black-type company over m. She relished the step-up to m, a distance she has a top record over, and continued her good form third-up having also run three runs in last preparation.
Cool Passion got the better of the tiring front runners late after being in a perfect position stalking, driving through to beat Pedrena by a half-neck who just held off perennial third placegetter Princess Of Queens.
Fitter for the run, the only concern was her outside barrier draw in the Thoroughbred Club Stakes. At Mighty Boss has topped them for surprise factor. Those closest to the strong pace paid the price. The first five in-running filled five of the last six places over the line. The pace undoubtedly played a key role in the surprise outcome. The finishing speed, described as a percentage of overall race speed, was In simpler terms, they went much faster than ideal and those closest to the strong pace paid the price.
Runner up Kementari also paid the price for the early speed, sectional mark ups suggesting he was an unlucky loser, weakening late having had to strike for home earlier than ideal given the tempo.
That's no crack at jockey Damien Lane who had no option but to get out and get moving with lesser horses weakening back into his lap before the turn. The Sydney tsunami again took out both Guineas races at Caulfield last year, with Divine Prophet continuing the dominance of Sydney-trained three-year-olds in the Caulfield Guineas. Raced by a syndicate of about 40 women from seven countries, the filly made it two Group 1s wins in seven days.
Very underrated meeting but with four Group 1s it really is a genuine jewel that comes early in the spring. Tickets selling fast so get in early to avoid disappointment. Frankston, Dandenong, Cranbourne and Pakenham lines depart regularly from Flinders Street to Caulfield Station, located directly opposite the course.
The journey takes about 15 minutes.
