Blue Diamond Stakes (G1)

Age: 2yo Type: OPEN

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.
