Corey Brown took out the feature Group II Missile Stakes although Jason Collet claimed the riding honours picking up a late double at Randwick on Saturday.
Once again, Racenet was on hand to get the feedback from every rider after every race.
This is what the jockeys thought of their rides during the day.

SHOGUN SUN |
Christian Reith |
He was impressive actually, he surprised me. He was a bit gawky getting through that gap. It just took a bit to get him through there but I really like the way he put his foot down once he got through. He hasn’t let them down and if he keeps going forward it wouldn’t surprise me to see him in the Golden Rose. |

He ran well up in grade. It might not have been ideal leading into a bit of a breeze down the side. |

He might be coming to the end of his prep. I thought he was entitled to finish off a bit better than he did. He’s been up quite a while for a young horse and I think he’ll be better next preparation. |

It helped stepping up in trip and the small field helped with her racing pattern but she was really strong to the line. |

Good even run. Just lacked that turn of foot and stayed on which suggests she’ll enjoy a little bit further. |

I reckon she’s after a well earned break. She still stuck on well and I don’t think it was the 1800m, she just needs a break. |

He was always going to ping out like that. It was good the leader rolled along at a good tempo and I was able to relax. I was pretty confident. He worked really well Tuesday morning so it was hard not to be confident. |

He was really good. He is a difficult horse though, he want to over-race, he wanted to hang in and hang out. He did a lot wrong but hopefully he might be towards the end of his prep and can improve when he comes back. |

1000m really suited her today and I had a soft run. I had here ready to fire at the 300m once we got a bit of room and that’s all she needed really. She’s got an explosive turn of speed and we made use of that. |
