Listed – 1000m – Turf
1 | Oscar’s Fortune | Speedy sprinter resuming from a spell who loves this distance. Finished 2nd in the G2 Schillaci Stakes (1100m) at Caulfield on 12 October. Looks well placed. |
2 | Spacewalk | Races well at Flemington and always gives a good sight when fresh. Finished 2nd at Listed level at this track and distance on his penultimate start. He’s been trialling well in Sydney. Has Blake Shinn on. |
3 | Joyful Fortune | Former Hong Kong sprinter who loves the Flemington straight with two wins from four starts. He will find this easier than last start 10th of ten in the G1 Black Caviar Lightning (1000m) behind Skybird. |
4 | Acromantula | Ex-Perth sprinter who raced well for the Hayes brothers last spring. He’s won two recent 800m Pakenham jump-outs. Races well fresh and creates interest. |

6 | She Dances | Capable mare on her day who is a winner at Flemington. Last start 0.81L 3rd to Samangu at Caulfield over 1100m against her own sex on 15 March. Chance. |
7 | Sans Doute | Winner of this race last year but she was in great form then. She didn’t fire when first-up when 5.97L 11th to Jimmysstar in the G1 Oakleigh Plate (1100m). She’s since won a jump-out. Worth another chance at this level. |
8 | Pisanello | He’s racing in career best form. He put together a hat-trick of wins including a BM80 handicap victory over 1100m at Flemington before being spelled. He resumed with a 0.39L 3rd in the G3 Maurice McCarten Stakes (1100m), at Rosehill on 15 March. Go close. |
