G.C. $1 Million M.M. Guineas

Age: 3yo Type: SPEC

Classy filly Sweet Idea ($5) was brilliantly away from her wide barrier (13) and crossed to the lead after travelling 400m. James McDonald then steadied her and she travelled well before grabbing a break shortly after turning for home. She then dug deep after her early efforts, and drew clear to win by a length in fast time (1:20.78). it was an impressive effort. Estonian Princess made a big jump in class after winning a 3YO Maiden (1400m) at Randwick on New Year’s Day for a very good second. She settled eighth on the rails from her good barrier (3), got a good split on straightening and went to third at the 250m. She then battled gamely for second, beaten one length. Highly consistent Sunshine Coast-trained filly Enquare e ($4.50 favourite) had a nice run from her barrier (2), racing in fourth place one out and one back. She moved up well rounding the home turn but then kept fighting on in the straight for third, beaten just under two lengths, after seeming to have every chance. Toowoomba-trained filly Tonto ($26) surprised running on well from eleventh at the home turn for a late-closing fourth. *ANZ
