The highly regarded colt Rubick ($1.30 fav) ran right up to expectations with a stunning debut performance, immediately being promoted to favouritism for the Blue Diamond Stakes and the Golden Slipper Stakes. He was smartly away and settled nicely outside the leader Pink Perfection. He took the lead passing the 200m, then dashed clear and was eased down nearing the post to win by two and three quarter lengths in quick overall time (56.39) and a fast last 600m (33.29). He looks a very talented colt. The Gai Waterhouse-trained filly Twirl ($21) began well from her inside barrier (1) then eased to travel in third spot on the rails. She was under pressure topping the rise, but responded and fought on resolutely for a most promising second at her first start. She looks the makings of a smart filly and also should appreciate further. Her stablemate Valentia ($19) was slowly away and settled fourth in the small five-horse field. He looked to be struggling at the 300m but kept fighting on for an encouraging third on debut, albeit almost seven lengths from the winner. Pink Perfection ($16) led the field to the home turn but tired from the 200m to finish fourth, beaten just over seven and a half lengths. The second favourite Create ($6) was slowly away and settled last. She was making some ground at the 600m when she dipped and lost ground, being eased up to finish a distant last. *ANZ
