Dilmah Caulfield Sprint (G2)
Our Boy Malachi put up a very smart performance in winning here. Having his second run this preparation, he went back from his outside barrier (9) and settled near last. He was taken wide rounding the home turn, put in a very strong run to hit the front at the 100m and then went on to score impressively. Faatinah showed good pace to race outside the leader (Sunday Escape), went to the front at the 200m and then battled on very well for a good second. Multiple Group One winner Lankan Rupee was third on the rails, was held up in the straight before getting a split at the 100m. He then fought on particularly well under his top weight (61kg) for a very good first up third in most a promising return. The outsider Orujo did well running on for fourth. The favourite Wild Rain was fifth to the home turn but she was somewhat disappointing in the straight, battling on for (2.7 lengths) fifth while Ruettiger ran on nicely, late for (2.8 lengths) a promising first up sixth.
