Caulfield Sprint (G2)
The Queensland sprinter Spirit Of Boom was ridden patiently as usual and settled back in tenth place, wide with cover. Nick Hall took him to the extreme outside on straightening and he came with a powerful late run to score nicely by three quarters of a length. Shamal Wind had a good trip about eighth on the rails to the turn. But she was blocked for a run on straightening and Glen Boss was eventually able to switch her across heels passing the 150m. She then ran on very well for a late-closing second, looking a little unlucky not to have won. Ready To Rip had a good run midfield with cover before improving wide-out rounding the home turn. He challenged at the 200m and then kept fighting on for a sound third. Pago Rock fought on well for fourth after being handy, but wide without cover, most of the way. Honest mare Platelet had a good run in fourth spot, challenged on straightening and battled on for a length and quarter fifth with her top weight (59kg). The favourite Chiaramonte ($4.00) was third on the rails to the turn but failed to get clear running at any stage in the straight and went to the post an untested seventh, beaten two and quarter lengths. *ANZ
