G2 – 1200m – Turf

1

Lady Of Camelot

Brilliant filly who won the G1 Golden Slipper (1200m) after being held up in the straight. Was withdrawn from the ATC Sires’ Produce (1400m) because of the heavy track. Obviously the one to beat.

2

Erno’s Cube

Third but well beaten in G2 Silver Slipper Stakes (1100m) at Rosehill and then bounced back with G2 victory, by 0.14L, in Reisling Stakes (1200m). Can give cheek.

3

Drifting

Likes to race handy and has won two of three starts, including G3 Magic Night Stakes (1200m). One of the top chances. Was second to Bold Bastille at Flemington.

4

Tobeornottobe

Withdrawn

5

Eneeza

Was big odds in Golden Slipper (1200m) when beaten 2.71L to finish seventh. Ran home strongly from the back. Doesn’t need much improvement to figure here.

6

Castanya

Had no luck in the G3 Magic Night Stakes (1200m) at last start when finished fourth, beaten 1.58L. Should again be thereabouts with a clear run this time. 

7

Too Darn Lizzie

Has raced only twice for a win and third over 1000m and 1200m. Likes to lead. Was only beaten 0.34L at last start in the G2 Reisling Stakes. Improver.

8

Fly Fly

Still a maiden after three attempts. Was second at Rosehill in the Magic Night Stakes, beaten 1.18L, at last start, when highly fancied. Is G2 placed. Rates highly.

9

El Morzillo

Has won on soft going. Was third at last start over 1000m at Eagle Farm, beaten less than a length. Has been consistent but this is tough.

10

Devine Force

Has won two from three starts, and was fourth, beaten 3.41L, at latest over 1000m at Eagle Farm. This is too hard.

11

Nymphadora

Still a maiden after five races. Hasn’t done enough in easier contests to be considered a serious contender. Was second at last start at Kensington over 1100m.

12

Ameena

Has raced three times for two wins and a last start second, beaten 1.5L, in G3 over 1200m at Flemington. Sure to be in the firing line.

13

More Territories

Has raced only once for a 1100m handicap win at Kensington at big odds. Had three trials before the win. This isn’t easy coming out of maiden grade.

14

Empress of Japan

Won her maiden on debut, scoring a 0.02L victory over 1100m at Gosford last month at big odds. Much harder second up.

15

Diddle Dumpling

Still a maiden after two attempts. Was fancied first up when fourth, beaten 2.09L, over 1000m at Hawkesbury. Weakened to finish fifth at Randwick at 1200m at latest in G2. This is a hot race.

16

Lady Zodiac

Led and weakened on debut over 1100m at Kensington to finish fourth, beaten 1.41L. This is a significant task for a maiden galloper.
