Blazer Stakes (G2)
French Emotion put up a smart effort in winning here. She was ridden quietly from her wide barrier (11) and settled in last place in the 13-horse field, following a steady tempo (first 800m 50.29). She fanned deep on turning for home and commenced a strong run to hit the front at the 100m and then fought back to score quite impressively. Pure Pride raced back in 12th place, was held up on straightening, got a split at the 200m and then came with a strong late run to take a very good second. Vibrant Rouge also settled back in the field, was 11th at the home turn and came with a late run to grab a good third. The favourite Telopea raced in sixth place on the rails, got through on the inner to hit the front at the 150m before fighting on for (2.2 lengths) fourth.
