This mile at Listed level under the WFA scale was a sedate run race with the winning time by an easy victor in Julinsky Prince a tepid 1:40.08. The race that followed this was many grades inferior and clocked over a second or six lengths faster time. Julinsky Prince raced second throughout and then assumed control near the home turn making full value of the rampant track bias in play of on the pace and inside runners all day. It was his ninth win in thirty outings and eight of those have come at the mile. He did look well situated in this being a G1 and G2 placed at WFA performer already plus has won at G2 under handicap conditions and was a dual Listed winner so today was his third success at such level. The runner up was Taurus after sitting close while Thorn Prince (stablemate of the winner) ran on well from the back and defied the bias for third though a small field in numbers meant he was never that far away to the home turn. Marotiri Miss swept up ominously from the back before the home turn before wilting into fourth. Bel Sorriso ran on late from the back and needed more rain on the track and a stronger clip up front. Porotene Park was not too bad and she should be in for a good spring plus is the stablemate of the winner and third placegetter so Fraser Auret had a nice result overall. Bella’s Delight was hopelessly outclassed on paper at this level and scale but after leading was run down into seventh beaten just under six and a half lengths, so the track bias flattered her. Danza Lad was gone before the home turn and the footing was not wet enough for the winter mudder and handicapper. The shocker of the race was Iamishwara running a poor last after being favourite as he was the only G1 winner in the field at WFA. The day he won his G1 the third finisher was Julinsky Prince, the easy winner here, so the effort today was a loss of many lengths in form. No doubting the honesty of Julinsky Prince and reasonable footing suits him but once again the rampant track bias at Wanganui does rightly cloud the result worth as a true indicator.
