Shane Adair's race reviews, blackbookers and race notes from Saturday's Sydney metro meeting at Rosehill.
Siege Of Quebec (1st) – Jumped well to take up the lead at a steady clip. Turning for home the run appeared Calculated who headed him however under strong rider responded to win. There was a big gap back to third so I dare say second has some ability to. He will be winning more races this well bred colt.
Insensata (1st) – Excellent victory, settled well back in a race of moderate tempo. Hoking out to the middle of the track down the straight unleashed a powerful finishing burt to win going away. That’s makes it 2 in a row and can continue to be followed this preparation.
Note – Buddy Honest was to good leading from barrier to box on the quick back up. Star Aspiration sound in second however every chance. Both Our Finvarra & Bulala were noticed make late ground without threating the winner. Favourite Cosmic Reign was every chance in running 4th.
Note – Speed was good here again with Collateral continue his excellent preparation winning again from being midfield on the turn. The Gavel was very good running second sitting forward on a good speed. Life O’Brien a solid third after looking the winner at the 200m. Favourite Estikhraaj was only fair running on ok from back in the field.
Note – Hunter Jack was too good, sat out the favourite on the pace and kicked strongly to win well. Both Queen Misty & It’s So Obvious solid filling the placings however both had every chance. Favourite Flow was disappointing finishing unplaced along with Reneged who saw daylight at the right time however could make no impact on Hunter Jack.
