Arrowfield Classic (G3)
Single Gaze followed up her promising second in the Surround Stakes (Gr 2, 1400m) at Randwick on 27 February to score her first stakes success in this Group Three race. She was smartly away from her good barrier (4), settled nicely in fourth place before moving up rounding the home turn. She took the lead at the 200m and then dug deep to for a good win. Dixie Blossoms travelled well back in eighth place, one off the rails. She tracked up nicely nearing the home turn, sprinted quickly to challenge at the 200m and battled strongly for a very good second. Asinara was ridden quietly from her outside barrier (9), was last early on before settling in seventh place on the rails. She angled between runners at the 300m, went to third at the 200m and fought on well to hold the minor placing. Favourite Honesta had a good trip in sixth place, one off the rails, improved nicely rounding the home turn and fought on, a bit one-paced, for (2.1 lengths) fourth, looking suited to further. Top weight (57kg) Ambience was fifth on the rails, got through on the inner on straightening, challenged at the 200m but then battled over the closing stages for (4.6 lengths) fifth.
