Jabali wins 2015 Sky Racing Queensland Guineas Group 2 $400,000 at Doomben (QLD) 3yo, 1600m.
Jabali was quickly away the eased to enjoy a good run in sixth, one off the rails, following a strong pace (1st 1000m 58.41). He moved up well (deep) rounding the home turn, sprinted smartly to hit the front at the 100m and he then drew clear for a strong win.
Bachman was ridden quietly and settled just beyond midfield on the rails. He was under riding on turning for home, switched between runners at the 200m and finished on for a good second.
Merion raced in third place, travelled well behind the good pace. He looked a threat when he took a narrow lead at the 200m and then battled on quite well for a sound third.
Awesome Rock settled in second last place in the 16-horse field before making a quick move (deep) on passing the 600m. He went very wide on straightening and kept making ground for a good (1.7 lengths) fourth.
