Ladbrokes Caulfield Guineas (G1)

Age: 3yo Type: OPEN

In a race that has a reputation for producing a surprise winner, the $101 chance Mighty Boss, the emergency runner who luckily gained a start, ran on to take out the Group One event. He settled back in 12th place, behind a strong pace (first 1000m in 58.66), stuck to the rails at the home turn and continued to get through on the inner to challenge at the 200m. He hit the front at the 50m and finished a bit too well to score nicely, his second win in six starts. Godolphin’s colt Kementari raced in seventh place (one off the rails), moved up (wide out) at the home turn and looked the winner when he went to the front at the 200m (despite racing a bit greenly), but he could not hold off the late closing winner, then fighting on for second, beaten a neck. The lone filly in the field and favourite, Catchy, settled in eighth place, switched between runners on straightening, challenged at the 100m and fought on well for third. Royal Symphony settled in 11th place, was under riding nearing the home turn, improved to be about sixth at the 100m and kept making late ground for (2.3 lengths) fourth.
