Inglis 3yo Guineas
Cosmic Endeavour settled down about sixth, wide with cover after starting from barrier 14. She switched wide rounding the turn, Kerrin McEvoy asked her for an effort at the 300m and she kept running on well, hitting the lead shortly after passing the 100m. She then went on to score nicely by half a length. Liberty’s Choice was back about tenth, between runners. He eased across heels on turning for home, where he was conceding the leader about eight lengths. He then came with a strong, late run, getting to within half a length of the winner for a good second. Ryker raced outside the leader (Chasing Charlie), briefly looked the winner when he went to the front at the 200m but was caught in the closing stages to finish third, beaten one length. Just A Blur was about seventh and wide before moving up, deep, coming to the turn. She then put in a run on straightening and kept running on for a sound (2 lengths) fourth. The favourite Chautauqua was again badly away. He was near last in the 16-horse field to the turn, and then looked for a split between runners, getting through at the 200m. He then kept making ground for (2.2 lengths) fifth. He is talented but still green. Woodbine, stablemate of the placegetters, was near last to the turn and ran on well, late for (2.7 lengths) sixth. It was a nice effort. *ANZ
