Champion trainer Chris Waller added the world's richest two-year-old race, the Group 1 Golden Slipper (1200m), to his mantle.

World Class jockey Ryan Moore gave the winner, Shinzo, a perfect ride, but he won in style and was strong over the concluding stages.

Punter's Intelligence recorded the colt building through his gears well, but he asserted dominance in his final 200m sectional.

He clocked 11.54 for that split, approximately 1.5 lengths faster than the following best.

As expected, he produced the peak 2YO performance of the season and improved significantly from his Group 3 Pago Pago (1200m) win only a week prior.

King's Gambit sweated up badly pre-race, but to his credit, his run had merit.

Further, he had to make a long-wide sustained run and ran the race's fastest 400m-200m split in 11.03 but peaked late.

He is still learning, and with natural maturity, expect him to return as a superior three-year-old.

Empire Of Japan was solid, running fifth and ran the equal race quickest 600m-400m split in 11.27 and closed off ok.

Anamoe was brave/tough winning the George Ryder Stakes (1500m), and he now extends his Group 1 wins to nine.

The Godolphin galloper travelled the most distance out of all runners, being 1511.3m. Further, he still ran the race quickest 600m-400m in 11.16 and kept finding under pressure when challenged.

In all three runs this prep, he has had to win in a different way confirming his adaptability being his key asset to success.

His peak preparation figure has come fourth-up in his past two campaigns, and expect him to elevate again over more ground.

Fangirl's primed to run a peak performance next start after she ran the race's fastest final 200m in 11.02. Her last few bounds were powerful and watch for over more ground.

Artorius had excuses and couldn't build momentum at a critical stage.

The run of Levante was eye-catching after getting too far back throughout transit.

She had too much to do making a long, wide, sustained run, clocking one of the fastest final 600m sectionals of the meeting in 32.99.

Watch for her when she returns to Fillies/Mares grade in the Group 1 Queen Of The Turf (1600m) in the coming weeks.

One of the main talking points of the meeting was the ultra-impressive performance of the international raider Duabi Honour.

His final 600m/400m/200 splits were 33.31/22.22/11.22, and he smashed the line.

She accelerated hard, running 10.85 between the 400m-200m and kept finding the line clocking 11.30 for her final 200m.

Follow her with confidence in this campaign.
