Unluckiest runner in the rough-house Blue Diamond at Caulfield? Probably 4th placegetter Willow Creek 11/1, who was held up for runs but finished only about a length from the winner. Evidentia was another who had no luck after a tardy getaway.
Superstar Denman cruised home again at Caulfield, but does he really have a stranglehold on the Aussie Guineas? Trainer Peter Moody may have the answer to that...his filly Set For Fame looms as a potent threat to Denman's Guineas bid. She was an impressive winner of Sat's Grp 2 Angus Armanasco Stakes. PM says: 'I'm extremely confident with this filly at a mile and if she pulls up good it will be very hard not to go there because I think some of those colts are suspect at the mile.'
Despite the hype for Set For Fame, bookies reckon Denman is certain to start a red-hot fav for the Guineas. Early markets have Set For Fame as the only danger under double-figure odds.
