Geelong Classic (LR)

Age: 3yo Type: OPEN

Nozomi followed his recent encouraging win in a Kyneton Maiden (1875m) score another narrow but good win. He travelled well in sixth place one off the rails, following a moderate tempo. He improved (wide with cover) from the 300m, hit the lead at the 200m and fought on well, just lasting to win in a photo. The favourite Preferment was back in tenth place, one off the rails but was under riding from the 800m. Damien Oliver took him wide at the home turn and he continued to pressure the colt who closed quickly in the latter stages to just miss in a photo. He is by Zabeel (Sir Tristram), should appreciate longer distances and although still a maiden now looks to have strong prospects in Saturday week’s Victoria Derby (Gr 1, 2500m). Miracle The Second was seventh one off the rails, moved up nearing the turn, looked a real threat at the 200m and then fought on for third. The Mighty Jrod led, setting a very steady mid-race pace, held the lead until half-way down the straight before finishing fourth. Yesterjoy, a daughter of multiple Group One winner Tuesday Joy (Carnegie) was always well back, raced keenly in stages, before finishing (9.1 lengths) 11th at only her fourth race start.
