G1 – 1600m – Turf

1 Alizee Won three straight including G1 Futurity Stakes (1400m) before sound effort when 1.3 lengths 3rd to Mystic Journey and Hartnell in All-Star Mile (1600m) at Flemington on 16 March. Disappointed last Saturday, on soft track, when settled last of 20 runners and finished 8.5 lengths 17th to Brutal in G1 Doncaster Mile (1600m) at Randwick. Won this race last year.
2 Prompt Response Sound in two runs this year. Last start, finished 7.6 lengths 4th to Winx in G1 Ryder Stakes (1500m) at Rosehill on 23 March. That form is strong after 2nd and 3rd placgetters then ran first and second in last Saturday’s G1 Doncaster Mile. Not won at 1600m but twice placed and was second in this race last year.
3 Daysee Doom Led when 0.3 lengths 2nd to Invincible Gem in G2 Emancipation Stakes (1500m) at Rosehill on 30 March. Yet to win at 1600 metres; placed one of two at 1600m this track – beaten 0.8 lengths behind Dixie Blossoms.
4 Dixie Blossoms Strong finishing and impressive 2.5 lengths winner from El Dorado Dreaming in G1 Coolmore Classic (1500m) at Rosehill on 16 March. Then ran well after conceding big start when 3.6 lengths 6th to Brutal in G1 Doncaster Mile (1600m) at Randwick last Saturday.
5 Invincible Gem No luck in running when 6.2 lengths 8th to Dixie Blossoms in G1 Coolmore Classic (1500m) at Rosehill on 16 March. Then ridden forward and held on well in 0.3 lengths win from Daysee Doom in G2 Emancipation Stakes (1500m) at Rosehill on 30 March.
6 Oregon’s Day Impressed at first run in 2019 when 0.3 lengths winner from Clarice Cliffs in G3 Tressady Stakes (1400m) at Flemington on 2 March. Then disadvantaged on heavy track when 5.3 lengths 6th in G1 Coolmore Classic (1500m) at Rosehill on 16 March. Drier track would suit. Ran fourth in this race last year.
7 Unforgotten Drew wide and settled too far back when 6 lengths 13th to Brutal in G1 Doncaster Mile (1600m) at Randwick last Saturday. Won and placed at three previous Randwick 1600m runs and drier track would assist. Has blinkers on first time.
8 Consensus New Zealand mare who impressed with head win from Spanish Reef in G2 Sunline Stakes (1600m) at Moonee Valley on 22 March. Won three of five starts in 2019 and capable all conditions.
9 Eckstein Below best when 8.6 lengths 18th to Brutal in G1 Doncaster Mile (1600m) at Randwick last Saturday. That was on soft ground and a potential improver if track is firmer.
10 Princess Posh Ran on well when 3.8 lengths 3rd to Dixie Blossoms in G1 Coolmore Classic (1500m) at Rosehill on 16 March. Then below best when 7 lengths 6th to Invincible Gem in G2 Emancipation Stakes (1500m) at Rosehill on 30 March. Yet to win at 1600m but drier track would help.
11 Sedanzer Battled on fairly when 3.6 lengths 4th to Invincible Gem in G2 Emancipation Stakes (1500m) at Rosehill on 30 March. Fitter for that run and best form is at 1600m on good rated tracks.
12 Spanish Reef Strong on pace winner of G3 Matron Stakes (1600m) at Flemington on 9 March before 0.2 lengths 2nd to Consensus in G2 Sunline Stakes (1600m) at Moonee Valley on 22 March. Very good overall record at 1600m. Best on good ground.
13 Kenedna Eye catching effort when 0.95 lengths 3rd to Consensus in G2 Sunline Stakes (1600m) at Moonee Valley on 22 March. That was her second run in 2019 and open to further improvement.
14 Dyslexic Struggled in heavy conditions when 3.7 lengths 5th to Invincible Gem in G2 Emancipation Stakes (1500m) at Rosehill on 30 March. Untried at this distance but may improve sharply if gets preferred good ground.
15 Miss Siska Enjoyed good rails run to win Gold Bracelet (1400m) at Bendigo on 30 March at first run this year. Up in class but promising and capable all conditions.
16 Amphitrite Made late ground when 3.4 lengths 6th to Mystic Journey in All-Star Mile (1600m) at Flemington on 16 March. G1 winner at 1600m at Caulfield last October. This is first run right handed.
17 Fundamentalist Excellent on pace performance when 0.2 lengths 2nd to The Autumn Sun in G1 Randwick Guineas on 9 March on good track. Then below best on soft ground when 5.6 lengths 11th to Brutal in G1 Doncaster Mile (1600m) at Randwick last Saturday. Places more often than wins but chance if track good.
18 Nakeeta Jane Won first two this year before sound 1.2 lengths 3rd to The Autumn Sun in G1 Randwick Guineas on 9 March on good track. Then 6.6 lengths 4th to Verry Elleegant in G1 Vinery Stud Stakes at 2000m on heavy ground on 30 March. Suited drier track and back to 1600m. Past two winners of this race had run fourth in the Vinery Stud.
19 Seabrook Struggled in conditions when 6.7 lengths 5th to Verry Elleegant in G1 Vinery Stud Stakes at 2000m on heavy ground on 30 March. Suited back to 1600m on better ground. Won only start this course and distance and ran 2nd to Ringerdingding at most recent 1600m run.
