Coming off an amazing win from the outside barrier in the wet in the Australian Guineas, the race at one stage looked as if it may have been beyond the Robert Smerdon trained horse.

Even Smerdon was not convinced the Fastnet Rock filly could get home in front as the horses came in to the final 200 metres.

“She was getting a bit of a buffeting. I’d probably conceded at the 200 metre mark that she would run well but would probably run out of time,” Smerdon said.

Smerdon was full of praise for the horse who showed she can really accelerate at the business end of the race.

“She’s got that great turn of foot, she really can quicken,” he said.

“She’s done everything we’ve thrown at her.”

With 500 metres to go in the race, it looked as if a Hobartville Stakes repeat could be on the cards with Wild And Proud and Manawanui battling for the lead.

Sydney jockey Tommy Berry called for Manawanui to respond and he did initially but ran out of puff in the middle of the home straight.

Despite some bumps from a few of the other horses, Danny Nikolic managed to get champion horse Mosheen a clear path down the straight and once the filly got her opening, she showed her class.

The turn of speed was extremely impressive and she eventually won the race by a head in front of New Zealand’s Said Com and Gai Waterhouse trained Laser Hawk.

Nikolic was delighted after the race with the horse thatnow has six wins from 13 starts.

“She’s my little class act, she’s a little ripper,” Nikolic said.

“She’s just got the gears and she will relax and take any run. It got a little bit tight there a couple of times.

“She’s really relaxing well. From about the 1200 [metre mark] I knew I was going to be hard to beat.”

Next up for Mosheen will either be the Rosehill Guineas on March 31 or the Vinery Stud Stakes.

Shoot Out began as the odds-on favourite at $3, but looked uncertain to score after missing the start and then settling well back in the field before copping interference on the straight.

But the impressive High Chaparral gelding fought back for the win and defeated the Gai Waterhouse-trained Viking Legend ($12) by three quarters of a length with Captain Sonador ($12) claiming another third place in a Group status race just a short-neck away.

After a troublesome run, Shoot Out showed great determination and pulled out an extraordinary late burst to overtake three of his rivals in the closing stages of the race, after nearly falling at the 250m mark, to come away with the win.

Other fancied runners also had a poor run but were not able to fight back and make up the ground including sixth placegetter Monton ($7.50) who defeated Shoot Out last start in the Hobartville Stakes, and Sir Hallowell ($8) who finished a well beaten 12th.

Wallace had not won a Group 1 feature since 1982 when his filly Mother Of Pearl took out the Queensland Oaks.

Shoot Out has now won four of his nine career starts and Saturday’s victory elevated his career earnings to $549, 700.

He will next contest the Group 1 Rosehill Guineas on March 27 where Wallace will see how Shoot Out handles a run over 2000m before making a decision on whether to run his new stable star in the $1.3million AJC Derby (2400m) on April 10, or wait until the following week for the $1.5million Doncaster Handicap (1600m).

The bumper Randwick meeting on Saturday also included the $150, 000 Group 2 Challenge Stakes (1000m) won by De Lightning Ridge, and the $125, 000 Group 3 Skyline Stakes (1200m) where Hinchinbrook burst into Golden Slipper contention with their upset win.
