Barrengarry demonstrated resilience and determination to claim victory in the second race at Rosehill Gardens, overcoming a challenging position throughout the event. Despite being posted three deep without cover for the majority of the race, the galloper surged down the center of the track to outpace his rivals, securing a decisive win. Trainer Joseph Ible indicated that this performance is likely Barrengarry's last at the Midway class, with plans to advance him through higher grades in the future.

In the sixth race, Klondike returned to the track for the first time since last year’s Group 1 Doomben Cup, finishing fifth behind winner The Euphrates. The horse showed persistent effort in the run and is expected to benefit significantly from this race as he prepares for longer distances. Connections noted his international experience and anticipate improved performances as he steps up in trip.

Striking Alibi, competing in race seven, faced early challenges by breaking poorly from the barriers and settling at the rear of the field. Jockey James McDonald had to navigate through traffic, encountering several hold-ups along the home straight. Nevertheless, the mare finished strongly to claim second place. Trainer feedback noted that Global Goal also delivered a commendable effort in the same race.

Aeliana bounced back from a disappointing first-up showing in the Winx Stakes by running a strong second in the eighth race behind Autumn Glow, one of Australia’s top performers. While well beaten in her initial outing, Aeliana recorded the fastest final 200 meters of the race and improved considerably over the increased distance on Saturday. Connections remain optimistic about her prospects as she targets major races this spring.

Flying For Fun ran seventh in the ninth race but impressed with a competitive first-up performance in a challenging Group 2 event. The mare finished just over a length and a half behind the winner, despite experiencing limited racing room in the final 150 meters. With several more races scheduled during the carnival, she is expected to continue progressing and emerge as a strong contender.

Among remarks from the race day, jockey Rachel King praised Mazu’s enthusiasm despite pre-race difficulties, stating the horse clearly wants to compete. Trainer Chris Waller highlighted Autumn Glow’s ability to respond when the pace quickened at the 500-meter mark, noting her display of strength late in the race. Co-trainer Adrian Bott confirmed that plans remain focused on The Euphrates contesting the Metropolitan but with an eye on future targets beyond that event.
