Three-year-old filly Joyful Journey, who showed promise to two starts last preparation, resumed for a narrow but smart win. She went back at the start from her wide barrier (11) and settled beyond midfield, wide with cover. She was still well back at the home turn, switched out at the 200m and came with a strong late run to score narrowly but impressively. She should appreciate further and is a filly to watch. Gerberas continues to race consistently without winning. She drove through to hold the lead, grabbed a break at the 200m but then raced a bit greenly and was overhauled nearing the post for second.
