Sportingbet B.D. Prelude-C&G (G3)

Age: 2yo Sex: CG Type: OPEN

Rubick was a bit slow to move and was about eighth early. He was then ridden hard in the early stages and recovered well, improving along the rails from his good barrier (2) to take the lead. He held a good lead into the straight and fought on gamely after his early efforts to score another impressive win. He is a top class colt who should prove very hard to beat in the Blue Diamond Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m) in a fortnight’s time. Jabali was seventh, three wide with cover before fanning deep rounding the home turn. He went to second at the 200m and fought on for second, putting up a good effort at only his second race start. Chivalry was eased from his wide barrier (14) and settled near last in the 16-horse field. He was giving the leader about ten lengths before improving nearing the home turn. He then made up considerable ground in the straight for a most promising third. He looks suited to longer distances and appears to be the makings of a classy colt. Nostradamus went back to second last from his outside barrier (16), commenced to improve rounding the home turn, put in a run at the 200m and did well for a good fourth, beaten two lengths. Cornrow (fifth) and Francesco (sixth) battled on nicely in the straight while the Rick Hore-Lacy-trained Stratum Star caught the eye running on late from last at the turn to finish seventh, beaten three and a quarter lengths. *ANZ
