G1 – 1600m – Turf
1 |
Pride Of Jenni |
Has been her usual swashbuckling self in two close placings this preparation and is one of the leading chances here after opting to avoid Autumn Glow. |
2 |
Lady Shenandoah |
Is a G1 winner at a mile and her return to the trip looks perfectly timed after the four-year-old hit the line strongly in the G1 George Ryder Stakes (1500m) last start. Hard to beat. |
3 |
Treasurethe Moment |
Has returned in top order this preparation, finishing third in a G1 first up before doing it easily in a G2 mile at Caulfield last start. Top hope. |
4 |
Lazzura |
Rattled home down the middle of the track to win the G1 Coolmore Classic (1500m) last start but would have to find significant improvement to truly trouble the big three here. Place chance. |
5 |
She’s A Hustler |
Lightly raced five-year-old returns from a lengthy layoff and is thrown straight in the deep end. Will likely need the run and others appeal more. |
6 |
Leica Lucy |
Drops back in trip after a midfield finish in the G1 Australian Cup (2000m) and should be more suited to the mile. Each-way chance. |
7 |
Arctic Glamour |
Was a close second behind Lazzura in the G1 Coolmore Classic (1500m) but likely lacks the class to make a real impact here. Look elsewhere. |
8 |
Idle Flyer |
Progressive four-year-old has amassed seven wins from 14 starts and was impressive when winning the G2 Emancipation Stakes (1500m) last start. Each-way claims. |
9 |
Melody Again |
Well-exposed mare was honest when running fourth in the G1 Coolmore Classic (1500m) last start but this is different gravy and she looks unlikely to figure. |
10 |
Pinito |
Has mixed her form through 14 career starts, winning three times, and looks a level or two below the heavy hitters here. Prefer others. |
11 |
Perfumist |
Has faded after going forward in both runs this preparation and it’s hard to see her getting things run to suit on this occasion. Others appeal more. |
12 |
Dark Glitter |
Hasn’t saluted in over 12 months and G1 level looks a bridge too far. Will be one of the outsiders here and is best ignored. |
13 |
Modella |
May still have some improvement in hand after only 12 career starts and was solid when sixth in the G2 Emancipation Stakes (1500m), but is unlikely to trouble the top three here. |
