N.Z. Bloodstock Memsie Stakes (G1)
Black Heart Bart continues to race in top form, resuming here to score his second Group One race. He began well and settled nicely in fifth place, behind a good tempo (first 800m 48.36) before improving rounding the home turn. He easily took the lead at the 200m and then drew clear to score comfortably. Rising Romance raced just off a solid tempo in fourth place after beginning well from her good barrier (3). She challenged at the 200m and then fought particularly well for a good second in a promising first-up performance. Mahuta had a good trip in third place from his inside barrier (1), pushed into the clear at the 250m and then kept fighting on nicely for a sound third at his third run this preparation. Tashbeeh chased the leader (Charmed Harmony), briefly got to the front at the 300m and then held on well for (3.8 lengths) fourth after running a bold race. Palentino was well back in ninth place, improved (under riding) at the home turn and kept making ground for (5.1 lengths) fifth at his second run from a spell. Alpine Eagle was back in sixth place, was under pressure at the home turn but kept battling on for (5.5 lengths) sixth at his first run this preparation while the Victoria Derby (Gr 1, 2500m) and Rosehill Guineas (Gr 1, 2000m) winner Tarzino was a distant last in the 12-horse field prior to making late ground for (7 lengths) eighth in a sound first-up effort.
