G2 – 1200m – Turf

1 Kiamichi Outstanding on-pace win in the G1 Golden Slipper Stakes at this distance (1200m) at Rosehill on 23 March before setting fast fractions in front when 0.9 lengths 3rd to stablemate Microphone in G1 ATC Sires Produce (1400m) at Randwick last Saturday. Excelling on wet tracks but also capable on top of the ground.
2 Anaheed Raced handy and battled on fairly when 4 lengths 6th to Kiamichi in G1 Golden Slipper Stakes (1200m) at Rosehill on 23 March. Consistent type with two wins, on good and heavy ground, from five starts.
3 Pin Sec Looked good winning G3 Black Opal Stakes (1200m) first-up at Canberra on 10 March before failing to handle heavy conditions when 7.9 lengths 12th to Kiamichi in G1 Golden Slipper Stakes (1200m) at Rosehill on 23 March. Likely improver.
4 Flit Strong finishing dead-heat win (with Ready Set Sail) in Flemington G3 Thoroughbred Breeders Stakes (1200m – straight course) on 16 March. They finished three lengths clear of rest. Promising.
5 Cheer Leader Ridden back and unlucky when head 3rd to Mockery in Listed race (1000m) at Flemington on 2 March. Then led and cruised to five lengths win from Mayan in Listed St Albans Stakes (1200m) at Moonee Valley on 22 March.
6 Athiri Consistent all five starts on wet and dry tracks. Sound when 1.4 lengths 3rd to Kiamichi in G3 Magic Night Stakes (1200m) at Rosehill on 16 March before unlucky 2.2 lengths 3rd to Bivouac in G3 Kindergarten Stakes (1100m) at Randwick last Saturday.
7 Villami Led in Rosehill 1100m 2YO Maiden win on debut on good track before 9.1 lengths 8th, on heavy track, to Kiamichi in G3 Magic Night Stakes (1200m) at Rosehill on 16 March. Can improve.
8 Badia Ran on well when nose 2nd to Wayupinthesky in Warwick Farm 2YO Fillies Maiden (1100m) on heavy track on 27 March. That followed sound debut run, at Kensington, on good rated track on 6 February.
9 St Covet’s Spirit Even effort when 4.2 lengths 6th to Wayupinthesky in Warwick Farm 2YO Fillies Maiden (1100m) on heavy track on 27 March. This is tougher.
10 Apicius Withdrawn
11 Kahlo Filly, by Dissident, having first start. Dam won five races at 1200m and 1400m. Placed in Warwick Farm barrier trials last December and in April this year. Shows some ability.
