The Listed Wanganui Guineas saw a boilover with the winner Alcadesa a maiden filly at $50 burying her rivals to win by half a head. It was a solidly run race early and across the top so the backrunners were always going to find the line. Alcadesa clocked 1:26.80 and came from well back and wide to cause the upset. She strides like a wet track filly the daughter of Nom De Jeu and her damside are swimmers galore too. The winning rider was an apprentice in Leah Hemi. Second was Perfect Harmonee that looked the winner near the line after being back of the midfield and then improving fifth turning for home. Lucky Edie fought well for third considering she was second throughout and hit the lead at the 200m only to be nailed late. There was a heap of eyecatching strong late runs with the maiden filly Miss Cobra from last screaming Oaks material and being out of a Zabeel dam is very significant. Master Platinum came from second last for a good fifth and Gobstopper hit the line hard too from well back for a super sixth. He is a maiden that looks Derby material being out of a Zabeel dam. Perfect Suggestion went clear in the lead across the top only to be run over into seventh beaten less than two lengths, so it was a much better effort than it can ever read. Mr Conductor was a tad disappointing but he needs roomier tracks so expect dramatic improvement from now on. Brighton was a strange effort to be beaten four lengths but until he is back on a clockwise track only then can he be properly judged as having come up this season. He certainly looked well and was solidly backed. This race is likely to be better known this season for several running on powerfully late types with the maidens Miss Cobra and Gobstopper the Oaks and Derby appealing types at this early stage.
