Sky Racing Queensland Guineas (G2)
Classy Queensland colt Sizzling, racing in blinkers for the first time, settled about tenth one off the rails before moving up wide passing the 700m. He challenged, wide out, on the home turn and got to a narrow lead at the 200m. He then showed his quality, fighting on for a gutsy long neck win. Dances On Stars was a long way back early after starting from a wide barrier (13). He improved, wide, from the 600m and then put in a good run mid-stretch. He then kept running on well for a very good second. Outsider Lucky Hussler was near last in the 16-horse field before moving up well, very wide out, nearing the home turn. He put in a quick run to be in a challenging position at the 200m and then kept fighting on strongly for a surprisingly good third. Academus was about seventh one off the rails early and improved (three wide) from the 700m but he was under pressure at the home turn. He looked beaten at the 300m but he then kept battling on, making ground for fourth, and may now be looking for longer. His stablemate Complicate was smartly away and was handy all the way, battling on quite well for fifth. *ANZ
