Waroa-Belmont Guineas (LR)
With a two good finishes over shorter trips leading into this, State Prosecutor appreciated the 1600m and overwhelmed them in the straight for a big win, his third (maiden stakes) from 14 starts. He was slowest away and was tailed off by three lengths when they settled. Rider William Pike caught the field at the 1200m, ten lengths from the pace but Pike seemed unhurried and they remained last around the bend and into the last corner. He pulled wide into the centre of the track once into the straight, balanced then charged for home, maintaining a strong gallop, striding up to the leaders at the 100m then coming away inside the 50m to win handsomely. From back of midfield Roganella got off the fence just before they straightened, found a split at the 300m, led at the 100m but the winner flew by. Necklet was unlucky, tracking Roganella to the 150m but never had a clear run until it was all over for a tough third from Debellatio who lunged into fourth (rails) right on the line.
