Group III ATC Gimcrack Stakes winner Shiki was an odds on favourite for her return at Randwick on Saturday, but the speedy filly wilted in the heat with a furlong to run after opening up a big lead on the turn.
Caulfield Heath has been a happy hunting ground for promising Kiwi bred four-year-old Touchdown in recent weeks, and the New Zealand-bred son of Almanzor recorded his third consecutive win at the venue in Saturday’s A$80,000 MRC Membership Feel The Thrill Handicap (1800m).
