G2 – 1400m – Turf
1 |
Skew Wiff |
Last start G1 winner in New Zealand over 1400m, the four-year-old filly has an imposing record at the top level. Drawn poorly but is a huge chance. |
2 |
Shuffle Dancer |
G2 winner of the Armanasco Stakes (1400m) in February after winning at Moonee Valley (1500m), the filly was outclassed when she resumed in the G2 Let’s Elope Stakes (1400m). Likes Flemington and could give a sight at this trip. |
3 |
Princess Grace |
Five-time Group winner in America, the seven-year-old has already won a G3 race since joining the Chris Waller stable. Two narrow seconds in G1 races and a fourth in the G1 Makybe Diva Stakes (1600m) is perfect form for this. |
4 |
Wrote To Arataki |
Completed back-to-back victories at the start of the year which included the G3 Bellmaine Stakes (1300m) at Sandown. A Flemington winner over 1400m, was outclassed at last start in the G2 Let’s Elope. Can improve. |
5 |
Jaja Chaboogie |
Tasmanian visitor who won the local G3 Vamos Stakes (1400m) in February. Has had two runs back from a spell, winning over 1350m on the synthetic. This is a tough assignment. |
6 |
Waltz On By |
Has won three from 13 but can mix her form. Sandown Listed winner (1400m) and Bendigo Listed (1400m) winner. Resumed with a sixth placing last month, but does have excellent second-up form. |
7 |
Startantes |
Resumed in the G2 Bobbie Lewis by beating two home. Is a G1 winner over 1400m in the Tatt’s Tiara in June 2022 which was her last win. Has won two from six second-up runs. |
8 |
Starlight Scope |
Goes up a lot in class but has won two of her past three runs, including over 1410m at Flemington. Will need to go up another level. |
9 |
Belle Et Riche |
Dropped back to 1200m last start and was never a chance. The rise in distance is ideal and she is capable of a big finish. A three-time 1400m winner, including at Flemington. |
10 |
Life Lessons |
Always popular with the punters. Only Amelia’s Jewel was better than her in the G2 Let’s Elope Stakes at her last start. Finished strongly to be beaten 1L. Has won two and been placed in three starts on a soft track. |
11 |
Dazzling Lucy |
Recent form has been okay, being twice placed at the distance at Flemington. Was good in the G3 Cockram Stakes (1200m) and was good at last start, also at 1200m. Distance rise is ideal. |
12 |
Forbidden City |
Withdrawn |
13 |
Ausbred Flirt |
Comes into the race with excellent form after winning two of her past two races at 1400m, including first up last month. Has the ability to take this out. |
14 |
Climbing Star |
Finishing last at most recent start at Flemington over 1400m when led. A changing in riding tactics could be the key to a competitive run. |
