Trainer Price celebrated Globe’s commanding three-length victory but acknowledged the field lacked the strength to pose a serious threat in the upcoming Cox Plate, with contenders like Treasurethe Moment and Buckaroo unlikely to challenge top horses such as Via Sistina and Sir Delius. Meanwhile, Chris Waller’s colt Autumn Boy impressed in the Caulfield Guineas, echoing the success of his sire The Autumn Sun, though Waller remained cautious about targeting the Cox Plate given the colt’s limited race experience.

Queensland trainer Tony Gollan enjoyed success with Translantic winning the Toorak Handicap, adding to a strong period for Brisbane sports. Disappointments included Treasurethe Moment, who struggled late in her race, and Buckaroo, who appeared below his best but might be better suited to the longer Caulfield Cup. Sprinter Giga Kick returned to form with a Group 2 win, with trainer Clayton Douglas eyeing bigger sprint targets later in the Melbourne Cup carnival.
