EQUINICS – Race 12 – SUNLINE SLIPPER
Grade 2 – Purse $30,000
Restricted to 3Year Old Fillies
10 furlongs on Turf
The twelfth race in this year’s EQUINICS takes place at Aquis Park in Bundall Australia. Thirteen impressive three year old fillies have made the journey here for The “SUNLINE SLIPPER”, a ten furlong race on the turf featuring the best of the best from the residencies competing for GOLD in this year’s EQUINICS. Jockey tactics and racing luck will probably play an important role in determining the winner and at first glance it looks like this will be a close contest.
Here is a closer look at the field:

g wahler 18/1
Representing the Florida Racing Club is this three year old MYSTIC GUIDE filly out of the Sim Mare RESTRUCTURED LOAN. She has finished in the money in seven of her nine career starts with all but three coming on the turf. Her last two starts came at this distance and resulted in a win at a Claiming Race in Kentucky and a 98 speed win last time out at the “Road Rubbing Turf Filly Route” where she beat SAMMY’S WAY by more than five lengths. She will likely run mid pack early and should have lots in the tank to challenge the rest of the field as they come down the stretch.

j ustin 7/1
Representing Orphan Racing is this three year old FRANKEL filly out of the Sim Mare THEGREATPRETENDER. She is making her fourth straight Graded Stakes start with the others resulting in wins at the “G3 Penelope Cruz” and “G1 United Oaks” and a 102 speed runner up finish at the eleven furlong “G1 Diana Grand Prix” where she was edged out by KADZENI. She will go off as one of the early morning favorites and will garner lots of attention at the betting windows.

c pearce 10/1
Representing the Northwest Racing Circuit is this three year old CONNECT filly out of the Sim Mare COFFEE FOR CLOSERS. She has finished in the money in ten of her eleven career starts including four wins. She made her first Graded Stakes start last time out at the eight and a half furlong “G2 Pioneer Boulevard Cup” where she ran 93 speed and finished thirteenth. Two back she was much better when she ran 98 speed at the nine furlong “Beautiful Stranger Turf Filly Route” where she got the win and beat SAMMY’S WAY by less than a length. She will go this distance for the first time here and should have lots left in the tank as they make the turn for home.

k damo 15/1
Representing the Elite Racing Club is this three year old scratch bred DUNDEEL (x RAHY x LYPHARD) filly. She has finished in the money in all four of her career starts including two wins. She comes in off a career best 101 speed performance at a ten furlong Allowance Race where she beat JUST STOP IT in an exciting finish. She will look to run near the middle of the back in the early going before kicking it into high gear down the stretch.

m vinson 5/1
Representing Down Under Racing is this three year old scratch bred LOPE DE VEGA (x MONSUN x SADLER’S WELLS) filly. She come in HOT on a streak of four straight wins with the last two coming at the “Freddies Epson Salt Stakes” where she ran 104 speed over a twelve furlong track and beat OUYEN FEND by seventeen lengths and at the “G3 Oaks de Danish” where she blazed 107 speed and beat NURSE GINGER BAKER by more than five lengths. She drops back in distance here but has won at ten furlongs before and she should have a good chance of extending her winning streak to five.

t o’shea 10/1
Representing the Latinos Del Mundo is this three year old ST. MARK’S BASILICA filly out of the Sim Mare SMART IMPACTOR. She has three wins in eight career starts with the most recent coming last time out when she blazed 105 speed at this distance at the “G1 Wolly Mammoth 2000” where she beat RHICINA by seven and a quarter lengths. She will look to run in the middle of the pack before kicking it into high gear as they come down the stretch as has the speed to run down the early leaders.

r unoz 10/1
Representing The Mecca is this three year old VADENI filly out of the Sim Mare LA GRAND BICHITA. She has finished in the money in all five of her starts and began her career on a streak of four straight wins. She made her first Graded Stakes start two back at the eleven furlong “G1 Diana Grand Prix” where she ran 104 speed and beat GRUNGE ROOSTER by a length and a quarter. Last time out she ran second at the twelve furlong “G1 Irish Oaks”. She comes in well rested and should be in the mix to find a spot on the board.

m dunaway 8/1
Representing the Universal Racing Club is this three year old HILAL filly out of the Sim Mare HAMANDCHEESEMELT. She has finished in the money in all seven of her career starts including three wins. She topped 100 speed in each of her last three and had two runner-ups and a win in those. Last time out she ran 102 speed and finished second at the “Black Tricky Turf Filly Route” where she was beaten by three lengths by VESIA. She will stretch things out greater than eight and a half furlongs for the first time here but I think she should be able to handle the distance and will be well positioned as they make the turn for home.

m mason 9/1
Representing Midas is this three year old LORD KANALOA filly out of the Sim Mare LAST ENVELOPE. She has finished in the money in all but one of her eight career starts and has won three times. In her five starts this year she has never finished worse than runner-up and last time out she ran 99 speed at the “G1 Adelaide Oaks” and was second to LYINTHRUMYTEETH who won by more than six lengths. She comes in well rested and should match up well with this group and should have a good chance of finding a spot on the board.

c dolotina 9/1
Representing the European Union Racing Organization is this three year old WOOTON BASSETT filly out of the Sim Mare DYNAWELLS. She has made three straight Graded Stakes starts and had a win, place and show in those. Three back she was runner-up at the “G1 Sydney Oaks”, two back she was third at the “G1 Oaks de English” and last time out she went gate to wire and won the “G3 Koko Kitten Stakes” where she beat BLACK TEO by half a length. All three of those races were run at twelve furlongs but she should handle the drop in distance here and will be in the mix.

b sinstead 7/1
Representing the East-West Connection is this three year old scratch bred JUSTIFY (x GALILEO x THEATRICAL) filly. She has finished in the money in eight of her nine career starts including four wins. Last time out she blazed 106 speed at the eight and a half furlong “Black Tricky Turf Filly Route” where she came from near the back of the pack and beat ROOHI by three lengths. If she can bring that speed again she should have a good chance to win a medal for her residency.

m cameron 13/1
Representing Empire State Racing is this three year old BAEED filly out of the Sim Mare HARU URARA VIII. She comes in HOT on a streak of four straight wins which started with back to back wins at HOT races and continued with back to back wins at Allowance races with all of the starts being run over a twelve furlong track in England. Last time out she ran 99 speed and beat MAYAMA PALACE AFLEET by more than thirteen lengths. She has yet to top 100 speed in any of her starts and will need that extra speed if she hopes to find a spot on the board against this impressive field of thirteen.

s deberg 8/1
Representing the British and European Racing Club is this three year old LOPE DE VEGA filly out of the Sim Mare EL NINA. She has finished in the money in five of her seven races including two wins. Two back she made her first Grade 1 start at the “G1 Wooky Mammoth 2000” and finished fourth and last time out she was fourth at the “Rebellion Turf Route” where she ran 102 speed but could not run down the early leaders. She tends to run near the back of the back and may need to kick it into high gear earlier if she hopes to be in good position as they come down the stretch.
