Punter's Intelligence Wrap - Golden Eagle Day

The Golden Eagle trophy heads overseas again with four-year-old Lake Forest producing a powerful finish to score in the feature race at Rosehill Gardens on Saturday.

He was stepping out to the 1500m for the first time and relished the high-pressure event.

Punter's Intelligence recorded leader Lazzat running 52.44 for his first 900m and producing a fast overall pace rating.

Lake Forest was run to suit, but jockey Cieren Fallon weaved a passage through, and he savaged the line to run the race's fastest final 200m in 11.56.

His overall time in 1:27.98 was approximately 7 lengths faster than the Four Pillars Midway (1500m) and 15 lengths quicker than the Benchmark 78 Handicap (1500m).

Trainer William Haggas extended his impeccable record in Australia with 11 wins and 2 places from 23 runners.

French raider Lazzat was outstanding in defeat, and his effort was full of merit. He was slow out but showed natural pace to find the front before being given no peace throughout.

The gelding clicked up the speed between the 800m-400m, running 22.83 for that section, and to his credit, he kept responding under pressure to battle on for second.

Stefi Magnetica should've won after sprinting hard between the 600m-200m in 22.55 before being blocked for a run over the concluding stages.

Skybird ran the races fastest 400m-200m in 11.13 and Joliestar tried hard with the pattern against.

Ascoli Piceno was extremely well-backed late in the trade, but she never travelled and was found to have post-race issues.

Seven-year-old Bella Nipotina backed up her brilliant win in the Everest with a dominant performance in the Russell Balding Stakes (1300m).

Coal Crusher and I Am Me were locked in a speed battle throughout, and the mare stalked the speed before sprinting away from her rivals.

Jockey Craig Williams let her idle up between the 400m-200m before putting them away, running 11.80 for her final furlong.

She is now the second-highest prizemoney earner in Australian history, with $22,536,624 earned.

Sunshine In Paris caught the eye and ran a strong final 400m in 22.79.

Flying Crazy was resuming from a spell, and he hit the line well, recording 11.88 for his final 200m.

Kingston Charm saved all the ground and shot up the inside to win the Four Pillars Midway (1500m). He built through his gears well and clocked a solid final 600m in 34.69.

Alabama State was the run of the race after being posted three-four wide out on a limb throughout. He ran 11.83 between the 400m-200m and never shirked his task to the line.

Harlow Mist should've been in the finish after being checked/blocked for the majority of the straight, but once clear, she found the line running the race's second-fastest final 200m in 11.94. She is ready to peak third-up over more ground.

Allapercanto was a sectional star in the F&M Benchmark 78 race over 1300m after being completely unsuited to the race shape. She flashed late running the meetings fastest final 200m in 11.12 and will relish a rise in trip.

Left Field and Nosey Parker were both resuming in the Benchmark 78 but were outpaced in the slick early tempo.

However, to their credit, they both worked home solidly and will only benefit from the outing. Nosey Parker clocked the meeting quickest final 600m in 32.82 and Left Field the second in 33.18.

Fastest Final 600m: Nosey Parker 32.82
