Godolphin colt Traffic Warden made a statement on Saturday, winning the feature Group 2 Run To The Rose (1200m), which gave trainer James Cummings his sixth win in that event.

Heavily backed favourite Storm Boy was slow out, ridden up and led up his rivals at an even tempo.

Punter's Intelligence recorded his first 600m in 35.70, and he was brave in defeat, holding on for third. He can bounce back next start, and his SP must be respected.

Traffic Warden showed adaptability and immediate acceleration in the straight, clocking 10.69 for his 400m-200m.

Further, he kept picking up to the line, clocking the meeting's third-fastest final 200m in 11.01. He held his action well, and the rise to 1400m is ideal.

Linebacker was an eye-catching return, and he had too much to do after getting too far back over an unsuitable distance.

The O'Shea & Charlton galloper was restrained from a wide draw, raced in the inferior ground, but clocked some of the meeting's fastest closing splits.

He ran the race's fastest final 600m/400m/200m sectionals in 32.94/21.63/10.91.

Emirate was resuming and exerted all his energy between the 800m-400m in 22.58, the race's quickest for that section, and he'll only be fitter for that effort.

Tropicus is still learning but ran a sharp final 200m in 11.05 and can settle closer from a softer gate.

Sunshine In Paris was dynamic and became one of the leading Everest contenders after winning the Group 2 Sheraco Stakes (1200m).

She was run to suit but always looked in control, built through her gears, and showed her key attribute of closing speed, running 11.15 for her final furlong.

Her overall time in 69.00 was slick relative to the day, approximately seven lengths faster than the Midway Handicap and 2.5-3 lengths quicker than the Run To The Rose.

Joliestar regressed after her first-up win coming out of a slowly run race into a high-pressure event.

To her credit, she still clocked 32.94 for her final 600m, and expect her to bounce back third-up.

Lady Shenandoah returned in style to score in the Group 3 Ming Dynasty (1400m), and she showed a sharp turn of foot, putting the race away between 400m-200m, running 10.85 for that split.

She only had one trial prior to resuming and has come in on a strong base figure to work off this campaign. Expect her to continue to improve and more ground suits.

Henlein and China Sea both weren't suited to the race shape but flashed home running solid closing sectionals.

China Sea ran the race's fastest final 600m in 33.43, with Henlein running the next best in 33.63.

Fitness came to the fore in the Group 2 Theo Marks Stakes over 1300m, and victor Encap travelled well in a three-wide line before accelerating away from his rivals. His final 400m in 21.77 had merit, and he profiles to improve again.

New Energy was a hidden run after not being suited to the sit/sprint race shape, was checked/blocked in the straight, and he still ran the race fastest final 200m in 11.01. He relishes fast-run races.

Tannhauser ran the race quickest final 600m in 32.89, and Celestial Legend found the line well with the big weight. He's returned pleasingly and clocked 11.12 for his final 200m.

Ostraka was one of the day's highlights after a swooping win in the final event over 1100m.
He backed up his impressive win prior to spelling last prep and rounded up his opposition in a few bounds.

The clock backed up his late visual strength, and he ran the meeting's quickest final 600m in 32.52.

Fastest last 600m: Ostraka 32.52.
