Its a Filly Bonanza in New South Wales
Welcome to the Filly Turf Bonanza – Grade 3 for 3y.o Fillies over 8F on Turf being run on the picturesque New South Wales track. We have a massive crowd on hand and you can sense the big race coming up so lets head to the paddock and have a look at the field.
Marc’s Gold – 7 – 4–1–0 5/1
Is building an impressive turf carrer posting 3 from 3 on the grass with those 3 being career high 90+SP. She has been building up to this race and last start ran home like a train posting a 97SP and running away to a 2 ¾ length win in her 1st stakes race. If she continues to improve here I feel she can win this race.
Alayaya – 7 – 4–1–0 7/2
Ran a monster at her first start on Turf with a 102SP in an allowance race over 8.5F. She followed up that performance with her first stakes win with a 99SP. Her last start was against the boys over the longer journey of 11F where she fell back through the field and was touch disappointing. She needs to improve on her last run but if she can Watch Out!
Arwen’s Pretzel – 8 – 5–0–1 5/1
This daughter of Aragorn is coming into this on the back of a victory in the G3 -Si’ Senorita Special where she sat on the back of the speed before unleashing a brilliant burst to run over the top and win by a length posting a 98SP over today’s distance. Her previous start was a career best 99SP again winning over 8F. If she runs up to her last 2 starts she looks jucy odds at 5/1.
Graduate Unskilled – 8 – 4–0–1 7/1
Another coming off a career best 92SP last start romping away to an allowance win by 5 ¼ lengths. That was her 1st turf mile race and she came away triumphant. Would have to improve again but in what appears an open race she has a good chance.
Kindle – 11 – 3–1–2 11/1
She has progressed nicely into a stakes horse and comes into this on the back of a 3rd of 5 in the G3- Haley’s Comet Stakes posting a 88SP. With a carrer high 90SP she would have to find a few extra gears to trouble this field however but with some great placement by her trainer she has already achieved a group placing and this filly and desevers her place in the field.
Joint Effort – 8 – 2–3–0 9/1
Another with a career best effort at her last start sitting 2nd all the way over 8.5F posting a 95SP. Before that she worked her way through the allowance grades into that. Considering it was her first start in stakes company and she produced a career best effort, she has to be given some chance here if she improves again.
Circus Plume – 17 – 6–4–1 5/2
Stepped out in the G1 1000 Guineas over 8F on Turf and ran a dissapointing 11th of 14 running a 93SP, she dropped out just after the start and failed to run on as she can passing only tired horses in the straight. She ran a nice race at her preivous time out coming from the tail in a 5 horse field to run home over the top of them and score an impressive win posting a 103SP over 8F. Going over her past performances the one thing missing is a graded win and she gets her chance here.
Vijandra – 16 – 5–4–3 5/1
Is coming of a carrer high 96SP in a stakes race over 8F however she only ran 6th of 9 being beaten 8 ¾ lengths. The start before she made the running and although fading a little on the line was strong enough to get the job done winning with a 90SP in an allowance race. If she leads she may be able to kick on the turn and run into the places.
This is a very open race and if you take a look at the odds it will tell you the story, with the outsider of the field being 11/1. I wish everyone the best of luck and hopes my summary helps you find the winner.
