2012 Rosehill Guineas

Nash Rawiller got a flyer of a start on Laser Hawk and the gelding went to the lead but Rawiller eased his mount back and soon he had settled Laser Hawk on the rails and with plenty of cover. Laser Hawk stuck to the fence throughout and in the straight he wound up with a powerful finish which took him back to the lead, only for challenges to arrive in the shape of Kiwi gallopers Ocean Park and Silent Achiever. Laser Hawk, aggressively ridden by Rawiller, managed to hold on to record a tough win, just a half neck ahead of Ocean Park with Silent Achiever a head back in third.
