G2 – 1600m – Turf
1 | El Dorado Dreaming | Very good at first run this season and first for this stable when 2 lengths 3rd to Smart Melody in G2 Thousand Guineas Prelude (1400m) at Caulfield on 30 September. Vet reported throat ailment and poor recovery after 5.4 lengths 11th to Amphitrite in G1 Thousand Guineas (1600m) on 13 October. Expect better. |
2 | Fundamentalist | No luck when 2.5 lengths 8th to Oohood in strong G1 Flight Stakes (1600m) at Randwick on 29 September. Then had good run in transit but finished off strongly when head 2nd to Amphitrite in G1 Thousand Guineas (1600m) on 13 October. Drawn the outside but has strong form for this. |
3 | Mystic Journey | Impressive 2.25 lengths winner from Spanish Whisper in Listed Jim Moloney Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield on 22 September. Had break between runs but that was also the case last time. Won five of eight starts. First start beyond 1400m. |
4 | Krone | Finished well when 1.75 lengths 2nd to stablemate Amphitrite in G2 Edward Manifold Stakes (1600m) at Flemington on 6 October. Backed up a week later and ran on fairly when 2.8 lengths 8th to Amphitrite in G1 Thousand Guineas (1600m) on 13 October. Placed both starts this track. |
5 | Anjana | Finished 2.2 lengths 4th to Smart Melody in G2 Thousand Guineas Prelude (1400m) on 30 September before sound on pace effort when 1.6 lengths 4th to Amphitrite in G1 Thousand Guineas (1600m) on 13 October. Racing well. Capable on dry but three wins have come on soft and heavy ground. |
6 | Burn Off | Narrow but sound on pace win when stepped up in class to win the Listed Hill Smith Stakes (1800m) at Morphettville on 13 October – winning by a half head from Stars Of Carrum. In form but up in class again. |
7 | Music Bay | Over-raced in middle stages before 4.1 lengths 9th to Amphitrite in G1 Thousand Guineas (1600m) on 13 October. Has ability but does things wrong in her races. |
8 | Thousand Wishes | Performed best of the on pace runners when 3.5 lengths equal 4th to Amphitrite in G2 Edward Manifold Stakes (1600m) at Flemington on 6 October. Two subsequent winners beat her home. That was just her third start and open to further improvement. |
9 | Pierro Belle | Finished strongly when 3.5 lengths equal 4th to Amphitrite in G2 Edward Manifold Stakes (1600m) at Flemington on 6 October. Closing splits similar to winner. Still on the improve. |
10 | Hediard | Wore blinkers first time when raced handy and scored by a short head from Sealed in Cranbourne 1400m 3YO Fillies Maiden on 12 October. This much harder but shows promise. |
11 | Blonde Disposition | Raced handy and held on OK when 3.8 lengths 6th to Amphitrite in G2 Edward Manifold Stakes (1600m) at Flemington on 6 October. Maiden after three starts but competitive at this level. |
