G1 – 1400m – Turf

1 Mamaragan Exciting prospect. Debut winner of G2 Skyline Stakes (1200m) at Randwick on 29 February on good track. Then 2.8L 3rd to Farnan in G1 Golden Slipper Stakes (1200m – soft) on 21 March. Rate highly.
2 Larimer Street Sound effort this distance when 0.75L 2nd to Lunar Fox in G2 VRC Sires at Flemington on 7 March (soft). Then blinkers first time and overcame interference in impressive 0.75L win from Vangelic in Listed St Albans Stakes (1200m – good) at Moonee Valley on 20 March. Has run well all four starts.
3 Prague Sound 1.5L win from Kumasi in G3 Pago Pago Stakes (1200m – soft) at Rosehill on 14 March. Then checked at start and ran on well when 4.9L 6th to Farnan in G1 Golden Slipper Stakes (1200m – soft) on 21 March. Won three of five.
4 King’s Legacy Even effort when 2.5L 5th to Away Game in Gold Coast Magic Millions (1200m – good) on 11 January. Then ten weeks off before 6.9L 9th to Farnan in G1 Golden Slipper Stakes (1200m – soft) on 21 March. Began awkwardly, checked at 800m in Golden Slipper.
5 Glenfiddich Nose 2nd to Amish Boy in Morphettville 1200m on good ground on 9 March before stepped up to 1500m for easy 2.75L win from Albukhturi on good track on 21 March. Up in class but proven in distance range.
6 Holyfield Caught wide on speed when 4.3L 9th to Lunar Fox in G2 VRC Sires (1400m – soft) at Flemington on 7 March. Then pressured in front but defied all challengers with 0.8L win from Untamed in G3 Baillieu Handicap (1400m – soft) at Rosehill last Saturday.
7 Aim Ran on well when 2.1L 3rd to Mamaragan in G2 Skyline Stakes (1200m – good) at Randwick on 29 February. Again finished well (despite tempo against) when 2.2L 4th to Prague in G3 Pago Pago Sakes (1200m – soft) at Rosehill on 14 March. 1400m expected to suit.
8 Ole Kirk Finished powerfully in debut win in Listed Talindert Stakes (1100m – good) at Flemington on 15 February. Then blocked for clear run in straight when 0.85L 3rd to Lunar Fox in G2 VRC Sires (1400m – soft) at Flemington on 7 March. Won barrier trial on 27 March at Randwick.
9 Bartley Sound effort when nose 2nd to Barbaric in G3 Black Opal Stakes (1200m – soft) at Canberra on 8 March. That was first run since December and likely to be improved.
10 Return With Honour Blocked for clear run when 1.5L 5th to Barbaric in G3 Black Opal Stakes (1200m – soft) at Canberra on 8 March. Then failed to handle soft conditions, and had slow recovery after 11L 9th to Holyfield in G3 Baillieu Handicap (1400m) at Rosehill last Saturday. A drier track would help. 
11 Mission River Not raced since 29 February when pulled up lame after 5.6L 8th to Mamaragan in G2 Skyline Stakes (1200m – good) at Randwick. Runner-up at two previous starts over 1000m at Randwick and placed in barrier trial on 27 March.
12 Pioneer River Won Flemington straight 1200m Handicap on good track on 4 March before strong finishing 0.85L 3rd to Larimer Street in Listed St Albans Stakes (1200m – good) at Moonee Valley on 20 March.
13 Cultural Amnesia Placed on heavy tracks at first two starts before all-the-way win by 2.3L at this distance, on soft track, at Kensington on 18 March. Up in class but improving.
14 Tempel One Withdrawn
15 Dismissal Settled last in field of 15 and made late ground when 3.5L 7th to Thermosphere in G3 Magic Night Stakes (1200m – soft) at Rosehill on 14 March. Likely to appreciate longer distance.
