Mariamia went to a new level running slick time to score in the Benchmark 88 Kia Ora Captivant Handicap (1100m), and she is one to follow over the coming months.

The six-year-old entered her second preparation under the guidance of Joe Pride, and Punter's Intelligence recorded she clocked 1:03.59 for the 1100m.

To put that into perceptive that time was approximately 10 lengths quicker than the 2YO Ned Australian Whisky Handicap (1100m) and 4-5 lengths faster than the Benchmark 78 Furphy Handicap (1100m).

Even after adjusting for age, class and additional factors, the race rated well relative to the day, and she also ran the race's fastest final 600m in 33.47.

The mare contested Listed/Group races last campaign, and she can be competitive again at that level.

Godolphin galloper Spacewalk was sent out a fancied favourite, but nothing went right for him.

The gelding raced keenly in the mid-stages and was blocked for most of the straight. However, once clear, he clocked one of the fastest final 200m splits of the meeting in 11.14.

Midwest was honest in defeat off a 42-day break and will benefit from the outing.

Ringmaster made it back-to-back wins when saluting in the Benchmark 78 Schweppes Handicap (1350m) and put the race away between the 400m-200m clocking 10.90 for that split.

The run of Cosmic Minerva was full of merit after getting too far back in a moderately run race and he flashed home for second to beat the rest easily.

He clocked the race's quickest final 600m in 33.62 and has been a revelation since striking dry tracks this prep. Follow.

We finally got to see Dalaalaat with a positive race setup, and jockey Dylan Gibbons gave the gelding a perfect ride.

Gibbons steered the six-year-old through a passage, and once clear, Dalaalaat dominated his rivals, running 11.38 for his final furlong.

Super Bright got the good run through but ran on well, and Hasty Duchess, although well beaten, ran 11.95 for her final 400m and will be suited over more ground.

All eyes were on the unlucky Snapped in the Benchmark 78 Furphy Handicap (1100m), and the mare arguably should have won after being checked at critical stages.

However, the hidden run of the race from a sectional perspective was Jewellery.

The lightly raced three-year-old was 29 days between runs, restrained from a wide draw, and just had too much to do after chasing throughout.

She found the line well; her final 600m in 32.87 was approximately 1.5 lengths quicker than the race's next best, Bitcoin Baby in 33.10.

A quick mention of Regal Pom, who stuck on bravely after chasing a fast tempo throughout, and she now has a solid platform to peak third-up over more distance.

Fastest last 600m: Jewellery 32.87
