Spartacus (IRE)

One of five black type performers for his G1 Rosehill Guineas-winning sire D’Argento (So You Think), the Emma-Lee and David Browne-trained Statuario became the first stakes winner for his sire, relishing the step up in trip to claim the Listed MRC Galilee Series Final (2400m) at Caulfield.

Smart Missile’s Briasa confirmed himself a star of Australian sprinting, winning the Group I TJ Smith Stakes (1200m) at Randwick on Saturday where a good barrier helped atone for the horror of the previous Group One attempt.
