G1 – 1600m – Turf
1 | Mr Brightside | Won his 9th G1 with victory in the Futurity Stakes (1400m) by 0.1L when he went to the lead at around 300m. Rises to 1600m where he has five G1 wins. Champion who will take running down. |
2 | Tom Kitten | Settled well back in the G1 Futurity Stakes (1400m) and was still 7th at 400m mark and briefly held up thereafter. Stormed home to finish an unlucky 2nd to Mr Brightside. Big danger. |
3 | Light Infantry Man | Solid performance in the G1 Futurity Stakes (1400m) when worked home well when came from last to finish 2.45L 6th. Rise to 1600m is ideal. Has won at track and distance. |
4 | Another Wil | Ran down Mr Brightside to secure his first G1 at latest run in the C.F. Orr Stakes (1400m) on 8 February. Has trialled since over 1000m. Has won at track and distance. Can win again. |
5 | Flying Trapeze | Last win was in a 1400m handicap at Eagle Farm last November. Is yet to win at 1600m. Last 2 starts have been in races over around 1600m where he finished 1.61L 2nd at Doomben on 8 February. |
6 | Rise At Dawn | Held off rivals after gaining a late split to win the Listed The Elms Handicap (1400m) at Flemington where he has a great record at 1600m. Rise in class but can give cheek at odds. |
7 | Atishu | Has raced 5 times at the track and distance for two wins and a 2nd. Got well back when resumed over 1400m at Randwick on 15 February. Rise to 1600m is ideal and second-up record is good. |
