1400m – Turf
1 |
Iknowastar |
Winner of past three and is always excellent at this distance range. Deserves to be carrying plenty of weight but gets relief from claiming apprentice. With six wins from last eight starts, is a danger. |
2 |
Rise Of The Masses |
Broke through for his first win in more than a year when raced on the pace to score first-up over 1300m at Warwick Farm last month. Is a G3 winner who is worth following. |
3 |
Dynamic Impact |
Was okay at Randwick over 1200m at last start when finished third beaten 2.61L at $101. This isn’t any easier but could again fill a place. |
4 |
Grebeni |
Resumes after some solid performances last campaign which included three successive wins. G3 placed at last start and has been placed twice at three first-up runs. Will go well. |
5 |
Garza Blanca |
A lot to like about this consistent colt. Has won three from nine starts and been second four times. Has been extremely well supported in recent runs. Was beaten 0.03L at his start. Looms as the winner. |
6 |
Camaguey |
Had two 1000m trials for this first-up assignment after going to the paddock following an 1800m Randwick win. Has previously won fresh but this is tough. |
7 |
Touristic |
Good form being before spelled. Hasn’t won under 1800m but he has been placed twice at debut and a first-up over 1400m. Will be making up ground late. |

9 |
Holymanz |
Does have some ability. Was beaten with a 3.08L ninth over 1400m at Randwick last month. Has been G3 placed and is ready to run a big race but must overcome a bad draw. |
10 |
Body Bob |
Progressed nicely since changing stable, winning all four runs for new trainer. He rises in class but can’t be taken lightly at odds. |
11 |
Highlights |
Narrowly went down at this track over 1600m last month for his new trainer. Is hard fit but yet to win at this distance. A place is his best chance. |
12 |
Eastern Glow |
Has reasonable form coming into a race of this class. Won three starts ago at 1600m and was good at the next two over the same journey. Yet to win at 1400m but has a reasonable winning record, especially on soft tracks. |
13 |
Ivan’s Hero |
On-pacer that has been excellent since resuming in June. Goes up in class but would only need to repeat his past couple of performances to be in the finish. |
14 |
Super Chilled |
Entitled to go around at big odds. Went into the G1 Queensland Oaks (2200m) after being Listed placed. Failed to finish in the Oaks and this is her first run back. Two trials have been average and a bad barrier draw doesn’t enhance her chances. |
15 |
Al Mah Haha |
Doesn’t have the form to play a major role in this. His last win was in the Goulburn Cup (1400m) in 2021. Others have more class. |
16 |
Nails Murphy |
Former English galloper making his Australian debut. Has raced four times for two wins, a second and a third. The wins and a third have been at around 1400m. Has the record to warrant plenty of respect in this. |

Sister Moon |
Faced with a poor draw. Has a good winning record on soft tracks but this isn’t an easy assignment. |

19 |
Sequestered |
Is racing well. Has been going through the grades nicely and sure to measure up in this class. Scored an impressive first-up win over 1300m at Rosehill at her most recent start last month. Hard to beat. |

Chairman’s List |
Will find the opposition too talented. |
